Make some buttered toast, cut it into rounds or squares, put it to keep hot in the oven. Put half an ounce of butter in a small saucepan to melt, stir in two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, half a small teacupful of milk and two tablespoonfuls of fresh bread crumbs - enough to make it as thick as cream. Add salt and pepper, pour the mixture on to the toast, and serve it immediately.
