Canapes Madison

Cut six thin slices of bread and trim them all alike, toast to a golden color, and place them on a dish. Cover each slice with a very thin slice of lean cooked ham; spread a little mustard over it, then cover with a layer of provincial garnishing. Dredge grated Parmesan cheese on the top, and strew a little fresh breadcrumbs over all. Place them in a hot oven, and bake for ten minutes; then take them out, arrange on a hot dish, covered by a folded napkin, and serve.
