Cook up cheese on toast the Kentish Rarebit way – wholegrain bread topped with caramelised apples and melted cheese browned under the grill – SUPER TASTY!

Easy supper recipe

There’s nothing more lovely in the summer than exploring the English countryside and booking a holiday with Kent and Sussex Cottages.

Whilst on holiday it’s super nice to check out the local area and indulge in a few local foodie treats!

We just love this Kentish Rarebit recipe – so simple, easy and quick. Just perfect for an easy supper whilst on holiday.

Ready to eat in just minutes and oh so perfect alongside a bottle of cider or glass of wine.

To make this extra special try to use local apples and cheese or Kentish huffkin.

What is Kentish Rarebit?

Kentish rarebit - buttery apples and cheese on granary toast served with wholegrain mustard

Kentish Rarebit is a super tasty twist on the traditional Welsh Rarebit recipe – traditionally eaten by the apple pickers in the orchards of Kent at the turn of the last century.

Kentish Rarebit Ingredients

  • 1 -2 eating apples (depending on the size)
  • 30g butter
  • 200g grated cheese
  • 4 slices wholegrain bread or muffins
  • pinch sea salt and black pepper

How to make Kentish rarebit

So basically grab yourself an apple, peel it and slice it thinly, then fry gently in butter until it starts to caramelise and soften.

Add half the grated cheese to the buttery apple mixture and then spoon onto bread thats been toasted on one side – then sprinkle over the rest of the grated cheese and season with salt and black pepper.

Grill under a hot grill until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

This is the perfect easy supper recipe to enjoy on a cottage holiday, especially in Kent and Sussex… we think this would pair just amazingly with a bottle or two or regional cider. Low fuss, delicious easy food.

Kentish Rarebit is super delicious just as it is but… if you want to add a few extras then try…

  • topping with crispy fried streaky bacon
  • adding strips of honey roast ham amongst the apples before you top with cheese.
  • throw in some blue cheese for added tang
  • try with pears instead of apples
