WELSH RAREBIT BURGERS

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the middle of the oven.
• Place the bread on a sheet pan. Brush the melted butter onto the slices of bread. Place into the oven and toast at 350 degrees for 4-6 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• In a saucepan melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour and let cook for 2 minutes. Add the dry mustard and salt. Whisk to combine.
• Add the stout and Worcestershire to the mixture and continue to whisk until combined. Add the cheese and let melt, stirring occasionally about 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and while whisking constantly, add the egg yolks one at a time. Continue to whisk until all ingredients are incorporated. Spread the sauce onto the toasted bread. Place back into the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbly and browned.
• Remove the Welsh Rarebit from the oven. Slice the bread in half, horizontally. Place one patty on top of the broiled cheese mixture (if adding additional toppings, like caramelized onions, place on top of the cheese mixture first). Add additional cheese sauce to the burger (if desired) and then top with the remaining half of the welsh rarebit. Broil for 1 minute to serve with a crispy top, or skip this step. Serve warm and immediately.

RAREBIT SMASH BURGERS WITH PUB POTATOES AND HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, then slice into thin wedges or cut into 3/4-inch dice. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of EVOO. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, then drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the potatoes to the fat in the skillet and season with a little salt and lots of pepper. Cook until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Cover with foil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the foil and cook until crisp, 7 to 8 more minutes.
• Mix the sour cream, chives, dill, garlic, horseradish, 2 tablespoons parsley and half-and-half or milk in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Mix the beef, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard cayenne or hot sauce and the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and lots of pepper.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush with oil, then add the beef mixture in 4 loose balls of equal size (do not shape them with your hands). Flatten with a spatula into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Scatter the onion slices over the top and press in with the spatula. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip and press the onion into the patties. Cook for 2 more minutes. Douse the pan with the beer and lay the cheese over the patties. Cover and cook until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.
• Serve the burgers on the rolls with pickles and watercress. Drizzle the horseradish sauce over the potatoes and serve on the side.
