The Souffle Rarebit is a classic dish that originated in England in the early 20th century. It is essentially a cheese souffle on top of a slice of bread, making it a delicious and decadent breakfast or brunch dish. Traditionally made with cheddar cheese, this recipe calls for French Cantal cheese, which has a similar flavor profile. While the Souffle Rarebit may not be the most nutritious dish, it is a comforting and satisfying treat that is perfect for a lazy weekend morning.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Place the four bread slices on a baking sheet.
3.	Cut the cheese into small pieces and distribute it evenly on top of the bread.
4.	In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the milk, salt, and pepper.
5.	In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
6.	Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until well combined.
7.	Pour the egg mixture over the bread and cheese, spreading it out evenly.
8.	Bake the Souffle Rarebit for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
