Welsh Rarebit
A rich, savory cheese sauce of cheddar, beer, mustard, and Worcestershire spread on toast and broiled.
Why It Works
The egg yolk and mustard emulsify the cheese into a stable sauce that doesn't separate under the broiler. The beer adds malty sweetness and keeps the cheese from being too dense.
