Put one tablespoonful of butter, half a pound of cheese broken in small bits, one-fourth a teaspoonful, each, of salt and mustard and a few grains of cayenne into the chafing-dish. While the cheese is melting, beat two eggs slightly, and add to them the oyster liquor; mix this gradually with the melted cheese, add the oysters, and turn at once over hot toast. =Sardine Rarebit.= Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add half a pound of fresh cheese, grated or broken into bits, and stir constantly while it melts; then add gradually the beaten yolk of an egg, diluted with two-thirds a cup of cream.
Stir until smooth and slightly thickened; season with a scant half a teaspoonful of paprica, one-fourth a teaspoonful of salt and a few drops of tabasco sauce.
Have ready a box of sardines, drained, broiled carefully and laid on the untoasted side of bread toasted on one side; pour the rarebit over the sardines and serve at once. =Golden Buck.= Prepare a rarebit in one chafing-dish; break some eggs into the blazer of another containing salted water just "off the boil." When the eggs are poached and the rarebit ready, place an egg above the rarebit on each slice of toast. =Yorkshire Rarebit.= Add two slices of broiled or fried bacon to each service of golden buck. =Mock-Crab Toast.= Melt a tablespoonful of butter in the blazer, turning it about so as to butter the surface thoroughly.
Put in half a pound of mild cheese, grated, and stir until the cheese is melted; then add the yolks of three eggs, beaten and diluted with a tablespoonful of anchovy sauce, a teaspoonful of made mustard, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice or vinegar and one-fourth a teaspoonful of paprica.
Stir until smooth. Serve upon the untoasted side of sippets of bread toasted on one side. =Cheese Fondue.= INGREDIENTS. 1/4 a pound of cheese broken into bits. 2 tablespoonfuls of butter. 1 tablespoonful of flour. 1 saltspoonful, each, of soda and mustard. 3/4 a cup of milk.
