Toast, Buttered, and Cheese

Crush half a pound of old Cheshire cheese in a mortar, and pound with it a piece of butter the size of a walnut, the yolk of a hard-boiled egg, and a small tea-spoonful of mustard. Take a slice of bread half an inch thick, cut off the crust, and toast it on both sides. Spread the cheese-paste upon it, lay it upon a dish, and put it in a Dutch oven before a clear fire until the paste is melted. Serve very hot. Time to melt the cheese, about three or four minutes. Probable cost, 1s. Sufficient for two persons.
