you mean rabbit?

no. i mean rarebit.

welsh rarebit, with grilled tomato and parsley garnish

the inaugural sunday morning breakfast blog recipe:

add 2 cups of grated cheddar and jarlsberg cheeses and a splash of milk (around 3 tablespoons) - or same quantity of beer (preferably a brown ale) if you're a purist and the whole "beer for breakfast" thing works for you - to a small saucepan. simmer over a low heat until sauce is smooth and consistency is thick. add a teaspoon of mustard (i like a sweet mustard in my cheese sauce) and some freshly ground pepper to taste, and pour over buttered wholewheat bread. grill cheesy bread slices in a toaster oven until lightly browned, then turn to "toast" to get the underside nice and crispy.

sprinkle a pinch of dry herbs, a pinch of brown sugar, and salt and pepper to taste on a thickly sliced tomato, one slice per rarebit, and fry quickly over a medium heat, a couple of minutes per side. serve on bubbly, cheesy rarebit, with a pot of coffee and fresh orange juice

for the carnivores among us, i recommend a few rashers of crispy bacon beneath the tomato

quick, easy, and most importantly, delicious
