Golden Buck

Finely chop one pound very rich, soft American cheese. Prepare six very fresh poached eggs and keep them in lukewarm water until needed. Prepare and keep hot six toasts. Pour one and a half gills Bass' ale in a small enamelled pan with a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and a good saltspoon cayenne pepper, and as soon as it begins to boil drop in the cheese and briskly and continually stir with a small, clean wooden spoon until thoroughly thickened. Place six very hot shirred-egg dishes on a plate, place a toast in each dish, evenly pour the preparation over the six toasts, then carefully lay a poached egg on top of each and immediately send to the table.
