Recipe - Beignet Au Fromage

2 One half ounce Gruyere cheese
2 One half ounce Emmenthaler cheese
1 Egg
2 One half tablespoon Milk
1 Clove garlic
1/3 cup Plain flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
Salt, pepper
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
