Puffed Cheese Sandwiches

Ingredients

8 slices bread (rye or French are nice)

Sliced cheese (muenster, cheddar, edam or swiss)

3 eggs

2 cups milk

Butter

½ teaspoon salt

Optional: sweet basil, savory or onion

Directions

Grease a cake pan. Place 4 slices bread in pan. Cover each slice with a slice of cheese. Cover sandwiches with a second piece of bread buttered on the outside. Whip eggs, salt, milk and seasonings. Pour egg mixture over the sandwiches. Let them stand 2 ½ hour or overnight. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes; the sandwich tops will be golden brown when done. Nice served with pickles.
