Cheese Patés. Maltese Cross
Rounds of bread, cut and fried as for Swiss patés.
5 table-spoonfuls grated cheese.
½ cup hot water.
2 eggs, yolks only.
Pepper and salt.
Handful bread-crumbs.
1 table-spoonful of butter.
Put the water on the fire, and, when it boils, stir in the butter and seasoning, the cheese, and, when this is melted, the eggs. Heat together one minute; put in the bread-crumbs and pour a good spoonful of the mixture into each of the cavities left in the rounds of fried bread. Brown very quickly in the oven, and serve on a folded napkin.
