Emeril's Welsh Rarebit

YIELD 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

Serve with Chardonnay.
1 pound	cheese such as Vella Jack, Cheddar, Fontina or a combination of cheeses, grated
1/2 cup	beer
1	large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon	Worcestershire
1 teaspoon	Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon	salt
1/4 teaspoon	sweet pimenton
4	strips bacon cooked and crumbled
6	slices whole grain bread, toasted
6	slices beefsteak tomato

PREPARATION:

Method:

Combine the cheese and the beer in the top of a double-boiler set over boiling water. Gently melt the cheese. Add the egg, Worcestershire, Dijon, salt, pimenton and bacon and stir to combine. Cook for two minutes.
Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place bread on baking sheet; lay one slice of tomato on each slice of bread and ladle cheese mixture over tomato. Place in the broiler and cook until cheese is bubbling and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Editor's Note:

Look for organic cheese—try at your local farmers market. And look for humane bacon—or go veg and give "mock" bacon a try.
