Ramakins, Fried

Slice thinly four ounces of rich cheese, and put it into a perfectly clean saucepan with two ounces of fresh butter. Shake over a gentle fire till the mixture is melted, let it cool a minute or two, and stir in briskly the whites of three eggs beaten to a firm froth. Put some small squares of bread into the frying-pan with a little hot butter, spread the mixture upon the bread, and fry the ramakins for five minutes. Drain them from the fat, hold a salamander or red-hot iron over them till they are lightly browned, and serve very hot.
