Fondus in Cases

Put a quarter of a pound of grated cheese in a basin with two tablespoonfuls of warmed butter and the yolks of two eggs; season with salt and pepper, and stir well together. Whisk the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, then add them gradually to the cheese, stirring lightly. Take some paper cases and fill three parts with the mixture, and bake in a moderate oven. When cooked and lightly browned, arrange on a folded napkin, and serve.
