Cheese Patties

Have a slice of bread one and one-half inches thick, cut it into small rounds with a cutter, hollow out the middle to form a little cup. Fry eight of these in butter, first dipping them in milk and egg and breadcrumbs. Mix together two ounces of grated cheese, one ounce of butter, a tablespoonful of milk, and a little salt and cayenne; fill the breads with this mixture, stand them in the oven, and when the cheese is melted, serve them.
