I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this morsel to be cheese on toast' is the definition.
'bit' can be an answer for 'morsel' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the remainder of the definition.

'it's rare' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bi' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
