CHEESE FONDU
This was a recipe her Aunt put in Margaret’s book out of the one she had made at the cookery-school.
1 cup of fresh bread-crumbs.
2 cups of grated cheese.
1 cup of milk.
1 bit of soda as large as a pea.
½ teaspoonful of salt.
1 pinch of red pepper.
1 teaspoonful of butter.
2 eggs.
Put the butter in a saucepan to heat while you beat the eggs light, without separating them; let these stand while you stir everything else into the pan, beginning with the milk. Cook this five minutes, stirring all the time, and then put in the eggs and cook three minutes more. Put six pieces of toast on a hot plate, and pour the whole over them, and send at once to the table to be eaten very hot.
