Cheese Used in the Stuffing of Meats.

The mixtures in the preceding two recipes may be used for stuffing veal or beef. Eggs may be added if desired, and chopped onions or parsley may be cooked with the greens. In Italy roasts thus prepared are sprinkled with a little finely chopped garlic, and covered with celery tops and thin slices of bacon or fat pork before roasting.

Creamed Cheese and Eggs. 3 hard boiled eggs. 1 tablespoonful of flour. 1 cupful of milk. 1/2 teaspoonful of salt.

Speck of cayenne. 1/4 cupful or 1 ounce grated cheese. 4 slices of toast.

Chop the whites and add them to the sauce. Pour the sauce over the toast, force the yolks through a potato ricer or strainer, sprinkle over the toast.
