Put in a bowl 1 spoonful of flour, four spoonfuls of grated cheese, add about 1/3 teacupful of milk, salt, and a small piece of butter. Keep stirring the mixture on a very gentle fire, until the butter is well melted. Then take off the fire and let it cool. Whip whites of four eggs stiff; add it to the mixture and pour it all in a buttered dish. Put in moderate oven for 10 or 15 minutes. Serve at once.
