Madeleine's Baked Fondue

It didn't take me much longer than a trip to the market to make Hi-Ho's Baked Fondue. I even went out on a limb and didn't exactly follow the directions. That is a big deal for me as a cook that likes to follow recipes and tends to not 'wing it'. By the way, this is much less like a bread pudding but much more a souffle like

I decided to use a baguette and then doubled the wet ingredients. It worked perfectly. The picture below is after I made my first layer.


















Ingredients
1 baguette, cut into three equal lengths, and then each piece is cut in half lengthwise.
 4 eggs beaten
tub of Old English cheese to spread on baguette lightly
cheddar cheese slices
tomato slices
Lots of dry mustard
Lots of Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon chopped onion
3 cups milk

Directions
 *Below are additional pictures of my assemblage.*

1. Place bread, cheese, and tomatoes in layers in a round baking dish.




















2. Beat eggs, add milk and seasonings. Stir. I add a lot of seasoning and it ended up a light tan color.

3. Pour over bread and cheese. 
 
















4. Top with a layer of slices cheese.
 
















5. Let stand on hour. Stare at it and drool.

6. Preheat oven to 325.

7. Bake for one hour.

8. Cut like a pie and serve.

This served my family of five with left overs.

Eggs Bourgeoise Style

 This is not the raging fashion style they are talking about but rather an inexpensive French culinary style of the lower class.

"Cut some thin slices of bread and trim off the crusts. Lay the bread on a thickly buttered dish. Cover with thin slices of cheese. Beat well a sufficient number of eggs to cover the bread, season with salt and pepper and grated nutmeg. Pour over the slices of bread. Put dish in a moderate oven abd bake until eggs are set. Serve in same dish, very hot. "

This recipe actually reminds my of Hi-Ho's baked fondue, which I modified into Madeleine's baked fondue.
