42. BREAD CHEESECAKES.

Slice a penny loaf as thin as possible, pour on it a pint of boiling

cream, and let it stand two hours. Beat together 8 eggs, ½ a pound

of butter, and a grated nutmeg: mix them into the cream and bread

with ½ a pound of currants well washed and dried, and a spoonful of

white wine or brandy. Bake them in patty pans, on a raised crust.
