Cheese Omelet Baked

Cut some strips of cheese about one-fourth of an inch thick, arrange them around the sides of a baking-dish and spread sifted browned breadcrumbs over the bottom; place thin slices of cheese over this, and then three or four eggs, unbroken, salt and pepper to taste, spread on a little grated cheese and finally another layer of the browned breadcrumbs. Place a few lumps of butter on the top, set the dish in the oven and bake for from ten to fifteen minutes, or until the eggs are quite firm, but not hard. When done, serve as hot as possible.
