Arrange them in a buttered ple-disl with sprinklings of cheese in between, leaving a little of the cheese for top Beat the egg, add the salt, pepper, and all-spice custard over the milk, pour this savoury custard over the bread, sprinkle little cheese on top. Bake in a very moderate oven till the custard is very lightly set and the top brown.
