Kentucky Beer Cheese on Toast

Rate & Review

(62 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Welsh rarebit’s American cousin—a punchy blend of cheese and beer melted over toast—is a classic horse-country dish. “You can open any fridge in Kentucky and find a tub of Hall’s beer cheese in there,” says Amber Huffman. “It’s one of the regional dishes Jess Jackson likes to eat when he’s here.”

Pairing Suggestion

Dark beer would be more appropriate with this down-home dish, but Huffman is just as happy with Kendall-Jackson’s lively 2006 Vintner’s Reserve Riesling, which typically has a zippy acidity that’s a good complement to sharp cheese.

I would have liked to have read other's reviews before making this (I couldn't log in all day to foodandwine.com, so made it without lookig at reviews).  I found the dijon a tad overwhelming - I made it EXACTLY as the recipe stated.  I still can't see anyone else's reviews, so not sure what the general consensus is.  I will DEFINITELY make it again - perhaps with half as much dijon or perhaps some horseradish instead.  Possibilities abound with this recipe!!
