Baked French Toast

2 eggs, beaten 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup (1/2 pt.) milk

4 slices bread Butter

Sugar

Powdered cinnamon

Beat eggs with salt and add milk. Spread bread thickly with butter, place in greased baking pan and pour over them the custard. Place in hot oven until bread is lightly browned and egg is firm. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and serve immediately.

Another Method. Cut rounds of bread rather thick, about one inch. Brown nicely on both sides, then split in two, spread with butter on the soft sides. Sprinkle with pepper and celery salt. Beat up one egg, add salt and pepper to taste, spread on the toast and put in the oven until the egg sets and no longer. A little fish and white sauce, or egg sauce, could be used in this way.

Cheese Toast

4 slices bread, buttered 1 cup (1/2 pt.) boiling milk 1/2 cup (1 gill) cream

2 cups (1/2 lb.) grated cheese 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Toast bread, remove crusts, and cut in squares; butter while hot and plunge for an instant into hot milk, then place on hot plate and keep warm. Heat cream to boiling point, add cheese and seasonings and stir constantly until cheese is melted. Pour over toast and serve.

Rolled Cheese Toast is delicious. Take a loaf of fresh bread, and spread cut end with soft butter and then cut in thin slices.
