Aubergines Au Gratin

Put four aubergines into a pan of hot water, and boil for ten minutes. Then take them out of the water and let them get cold. Next cut each in half and take out the seeds. Brush each half over with some warmed butter and arrange them neatly in a fire-proof dish and put a layer of grated cheese on each half. Put the dish in a quick oven and bake till the aubergines are soft, probably about ten minutes. Pour over them some good brown sauce and serve in the dish in which they were cooked. Cost, 1s. for eight portions.
