Baked Cheddar Toast

1 cup heavy cream
1 cup cheddar cheese -- shredded
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
4 large eggs -- well beaten
12 slices bread
|In the top of a double boiler, combine the cream, cheddar, white pepper,
and nutmeg. Stir over hot water until the cheese melts and the mixture is
well blended. Remove from the heat and cool to lukewarm. Generously
butter a large baking sheet and set aside. Cut the bread slices diagonally
and dip each triangle into the cheddar mixture. Place 1/2-inch apart on
the baking sheet and bake until browned and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
Serve hot.
