This is a recipe I finally put together last night (to snack on with tea while watching the premiere of Downton Abbey Season Six, naturally) that I've been thinking about since a trip to London over a year ago. Lots of the pubs had cheese toasties as snacks to wick up all the ales and hard ciders imbibed therein, but an Indian restaurant called Dishoom in Covent Garden actually did it best, to my taste. Simply called "Chilli Cheese Toast," it was an open faced melt of cheddar, jalapeno, and warm spices which they described as their version of Welsh Rarebit. I did take some notes from the lovely Welsh Rarebit with Spinach recipe on this site by cooklynveg to get me on the proper track, and went from there with Indian flavors (and mayonnaise... I had been making tea sandwiches also and could not resist.) This can easily be doubled to serve a crowd. Enjoy!
