Savoury Tosted Cheese
Cut pieces of quick, fat, rich, well tasted cheese, (as
the best of Brye, Cheshire, &c. or sharp thick
Cream-Cheese) into a dish of thick beaten melted
Butter, that hath served for Sparages or the like, or
pease, or other boiled Sallet, or ragout of meat, or
gravy of Mutton: and, if you will, Chop some of the
Asparages among it, or slices of Gambon of Bacon,
or fresh-collops, or Onions, or Sibboulets, or
Anchovis, and set all this to melt upon a
Chafing-dish of Coals, and stir all well together, to
Incorporate them; and when all is of an equal
consistence, strew some gross White-Pepper on it, and
eat it with tosts or crusts of White-bread. You may
scorch it at the top with a hot Fire-Shovel.
