Ingredients:
1 cup bread-crumbs - very dry and fine
2 scant cups of milk - rich and fresh, or it will curdle
1/2 pound dry old cheese, grated
3 eggs - whipped very light
1 small tablespoon melted butter
Pepper and salt
A pinch of soda, dissolved in hot water and stirred into the milk
Preparation:
- Soak the crumbs in the milk; beat into these the eggs, the butter, seasoning, lastly the cheese.
- Butter a neat baking-dish; pour the fondu into it, strew dry bread-crumbs on the top, and bake in a rather quick oven until delicately browned.
- Serve immediately in the baking-dish, as it soon falls.
