This air fryer rarebit recipe is a simpler version of the classic Welsh delicacy. Under the cheesy golden topping is a layer of sweet tangy Tiptree red onion chutney for a delicious burst of flavour. Quick and easy, this dish makes for the perfect lunch.

For the Salad

Make the rarebit toasties
Toast the bread in the air fryer on one side for 5 minutes at 200°C until golden brown. (Unless you have a large airfryer, we suggest doing this in two batches.)
- Finely grate the cheese and mix with 1 tbsp of plain flour.
- Mix the egg yolks in a medium bowl until smooth.
Add the grated cheese, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Take the bread out of the air fryer and turn it over.
- Spread thickly with a layer of Tiptree Red Onion Chutney.
- Spoon the rarebit mixture over each slice of bread in an even layer.
- Return to the air fryer drawer and bake for 8 minutes at 170 °C until bubbling and golden brown.
Make the salad
- Put lamb’s lettuce in a large bowl.
- Drain the pickled red onions and mix 1 tbsp of this pickling liquid with 3 tbsp of olive oil and ½ tsp Dijon mustard. Add salt and pepper to taste and whisk to combine to make a dressing.
- Just before serving dress the salad.
- Serve the rarebit toasties hot, with the salad, quick
pickled red onions, and more Tiptree Red Onion Chutney on the side.
