Note

For best results, use a sharp, aged cheddar cheese to ensure the sauce melts smoothly and has a robust flavor.

Watch the rarebit closely while broiling, as cheese can burn quickly. It should be bubbly and lightly spotted with brown.

This dish is best served immediately after cooking to enjoy the contrast between the hot, melted cheese and the fresh tomato.

If you prefer a milder heat, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.
