3. I've tried both Dijon mustard and dried mustard in Welsh rabbit

And I prefer the dried mustard. I shall try the green onions, though.

4. Use stale brioche or challah--you can get it cheap, use it for french toast, too. Also, I add

sauteed mushrooms. (Made separately.)

5. I made this recently and it was delicious.

I used a couple of different cheeses. It was like fondue on a plate!

Your recipe looks great and I love the addition of tomatoes.
