Cheese Custard (Butter slices of bread and cut)

Butter slices of bread and cut into dice. Put into the buttered baker, a layer of the bread, then a layer of tasty cheese. If it can be well dried and put through the grinder, I like it better. When this is not convenient, cut it up as thin as possible. Do this until the baker is full. Over this pour an unsweetened custard, made of one pint of milk, one egg, seasoned with salt and pepper. I like to spread a thin layer of buttered crumbs over the top. Bake until custard is firm.
