RECIPE

 

1. Cheese, Toasted.
  Slice some good rich cheese. Put it in a cheese-toaster
on a hot plate, and when it is melted, stir into it some made
mustard and pepper. A little beer is sometimes added,
and if the cheese is at all dry, a little butter should be also
used. Toast should be served with it. This dish is worth
nothing at all unless it can be served quite hot. Toasted
cheese is sometimes sent to table in little tins with boiling
water underneath, and this is an excellent way to keep
the toast hot. A few minutes will be sufficient to melt the
cheese
