    Easy Welsh Cornish Rarebit with cheese and egg

    Your first question may well be, What on earth is Welsh / Cornish Rarebit? Basically, it's a more substantial version of cheese on toast, but with more ingredients and much tastier.

    I had this served cold for lunch in Cornwall this summer and thought it would be perfect for packed lunches. Although rarebit is absolutely delicious just out of the oven, it can also be served cold. This means it can be made the night before, perfect for packed lunches. One more thing. It's very filling, which if your kids always come out of school 'starving', is a good thing. The other great thing is there are loads of different varieties and different ingredients you can try. Finally, I know a 'traditional rarebit recipe' uses lager or stout, but since I'm mainly thinking about kids packed lunches, that feels wrong. Don't want them asleep all afternoon!

    Store in the fridge overnight. They are best eaten within 24 hours to stop the bread going soggy!

    Sustainability

    Welsh/Cornish Rarebit with cheese and egg is great for using up leftovers. A bit like the quiche recipe, you can also make loads of different versions and use up any leftovers.

    Toppings/Variations

    As I said, a bit like a quiche, you can add loads of different ingredients to this recipe, depending on what you fancy. My personal preference is to spread the toast with a sweet chutney before adding the rarebit mixture. You will need to fry or saute any veg before adding to the mixture. Here are some things you might like to add. Spring onions, leek, red onion, red peppers, mushrooms, spinach, sliced tomatoes
