DELMONICO RAREBIT
Cut in small pieces 1 pound of American cheese, put it in a chafing-dish and stir until melted; then add ½ a glass of beer or ale, some salt and cayenne or paprika, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, the yolk of 1 egg, then the whipped white of the egg, and serve at once on toast. The white of the egg militates against any “stringiness” which is apt to come from cooking certain sorts of cheese. A little milk can be used, if desired, instead of beer.
