--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 1/2   oz           Gruyere cheese
  2 1/2   oz           Emmenthaler cheese
  1                    Egg
  2 1/2   tb           Milk
  1                    Clove garlic
    1/3   c            Plain flour
  1       t            Baking powder

 12                    Slices square white bread
                       Oil for deep frying

 Step l.  Grate cheeses, put into small bowl of
 electric mixer. Add egg, milk, crushed garlic, sifted
 flour and baking powder, salt and pepper. Beat on
 medium speed 5 minutes. Step 2. Remove crusts from
 bread. Spread about 2 tablespoons of mixture on to
 each slice of bread, right to outer edges. Cut each
 slice into four squares. (If bread is fresh remove
 crusts after you have spread the cheese mixture; the
 crusts hold the bread firm). Step 3. put in hot oil,
 cheese - side down; fry until golden brown on both
 sides about 2 minutes, turning once.  Drain on
 absorbent paper. Source: Dinner Party Cookbook ch.
