Cheese Dreams – 1930

Cheese Dreams have always been a wickedly favorite lunch from childhood. I found this recipe from the 1930 Good Housekeeping’s Book of Meals. It is even more wicked and I have never tried it, although the addition of Worcestershire Sauce and mustard sounds good.

2 tablespoonsfuls melted butter or margarine
1 egg beaten
1/4 teasonful salt
1/2 teaspoonful prepared mustard
2 teaspoonfuls Worcestershire Sauce
2 cupfuls grated cheese
8 slices bread
8 slices bacon
1/8 teaspoonful paprika

Combine the melted fat, beaten egg, salt, mustard, paprika, Worcestershire Sauce and cheese. Spread on bread slices, arrange the bacon strips one on each, and cook under the broiler heat until the cheese is melted and the bacon crisp. Serve accompanied by green or ripe olives and pickles. Serves 8.
