6 ounces of cheese (1½ cupfuls of grated cheese or
1-1/3 cupfuls of cheese grated fine or cut into small
pieces).
4 eggs.
1 cupful of hot water.
½ teaspoonful of salt.
Mix the water, bread crumbs, salt and cheese; add the yolks
thoroughly beaten; into this mixture cut and fold the whites of
eggs beaten until stiff. Pour into a buttered baking dish and
cook 30 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve at once.
The food value of this dish, made with the above quantities,
is almost exactly the same as that of a pound of beef of average
composition and a pound of potatoes combined. It contains
about 80 grams of proteids and has a fuel value of about 1300
calories.
Cheese Fondue No. 2
1-1/3 cupfuls of hot milk.
1-1/3 cupfuls of soft, stale bread crumbs.
1 tablespoonful of butter.
4 eggs.
1/3 of a pound of cheese (1-1/3 cupfuls of grated cheese
or 1 cupful of cheese cut into small pieces).
½ teaspoonful of salt.
Prepare as in previous recipe.
The protein value of this dish is equal to that of 1-1/8 pounds of
potato and beef, the fuel value, however, being much in excess of these.
In making either of these fondues, rice or other cereals may be
substituted for bread crumbs. One-fourth cupful of rice measured before
cooking, or one cupful of cooked rice or other cereals, should be used.
Corn and Cheese Soufflé
1 tablespoonful of butter.
1 tablespoonful of chopped green pepper.
¼ cupful of flour.
2 cupfuls of milk.
1 cupful of chopped corn.
1 cupful of grated cheese,
3 eggs.
½ teaspoonful of salt.
Melt the butter and cook the pepper thoroughly in it. Make
a sauce out of the flour, milk and cheese; add the corn,
cheese, yolks and seasoning; cut and fold in the whites
beaten stiffly; turn into a buttered baking dish and bake
in a moderate oven 30 minutes.
Made with skimmed-milk and without butter, this dish has a
food value slightly in excess of a pound of beef and a
pound of potatoes.

2 tablespoonfuls of butter.
3 tablespoonfuls of flour.
½ cupful of milk (scalded).

eggs, beaten until lemon colored. Cool the mixture and
fold into it the whites of the eggs, beaten until stiff.
Pour into a buttered baking dish and cook 20 minutes in a
slow oven. Serve at once.
The proteid of this recipe is equal to that of half a
pound of beef; the fuel value is equal to that of
three-fourths of a pound.
