=Cheese and Oatmeal.=--Two cupfuls of oatmeal, one cupful of grated
cheese, one tablespoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of salt, and
pepper. Cook the oatmeal as usual; shortly before serving stir in
the butter, and add the cheese, and stir until the cheese is melted
and thoroughly blended with the cereal. The cheese should be mild in
flavour and soft in texture. The proportion of cheese used may be
increased if a more pronounced flavour is desired.
=Cheese Balls.=--One and a half cupfuls of grated cheese, one
tablespoonful of flour, the whites of three eggs, salt, and pepper, and
cracker dust. Beat the whites of the eggs and the other ingredients.
Make into balls and roll in cracker dust. If the amount of flour is
doubled the mixture may be dropped from a spoon, and fried without
being rolled in crumbs.
=Cheese Croquettes.=--Three tablespoonfuls of butter, half a cupful of
flour, two cupfuls of milk, the yolks of two eggs, one cupful of grated
cheese, and salt and pepper. Make some white sauce, using the flour,
butter and milk; add the unbeaten yolks, and stir until well mixed,
then add the grated cheese. As soon as the cheese melts remove from the
fire, fold in pieces of cheese, and add seasoning. Spread in a shallow
pan and cool. Cut into squares or strips, cover with an egg and crumb
mixture, and fry in deep butter.
=Gnocchi Alla Romana.=--Mix in a saucepan five eggs with three
tablespoonfuls of flour, the rind of a lemon and two ounces of Parmesan
cheese; and by degrees one pint of milk. Season with salt, and place
the saucepan on the fire. Mix until the paste is cooked, then spread
the paste on a dish which has been rubbed with butter. Let it cool,
and then cut it into small squares. Boil them up in a French fireproof
dish; spread a little butter and grated Parmesan cheese between
each layer. Place in the oven for ten minutes and serve in the same
dish.--Mrs. ROSS, _Leaves from a Tuscan Kitchen_.
=Another Gnocchi.=--Melt a quarter of a cupful of butter, add a quarter
of a cupful each of flour and corn-starch, a pinch of salt, two cupfuls
of boiling milk. Cook until smooth and thick. Take from the fire. Add
the yolks of two eggs and half a cupful of grated cheese. Pour into a
buttered shallow pan. Cool, cut in strips, roll in grated cheese, and
brown in the oven.
