Let’s prepare a keto-friendly version of a traditional Welsh dish: Keto Welsh Rarebit
Ingredients
– 4 slices keto-friendly bread (such as almond flour bread or cloud bread)
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 1 tablespoon coconut flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven’s broiler.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the coconut flour and whisk until combined to form a roux.
3. Gradually pour in the unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined.
5. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the saucepan, stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Place the slices of keto-friendly bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over the bread slices.
8. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let the Welsh Rarebit cool for a minute before serving.
10. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley if desired.
