Title: Nero Wolfe's Yorkshire Buck
Categories: Cheese/eggs
Yield: 6 servings

1 tb Butter
1 lb Cheshire cheese, grated
1 c Ale (not beer)
7 lg Eggs
1/4 ts Salt
1 ts Dry mustard
2 ds Tabasco
6 sl Canadian back bacon
3 English muffins
2 tb Dijon mustard

Melt the butter in the top of a double boiler. Add the cheese and as it
begins to melt, add the ale slowly, stirring constantly. Beat 1 of the eggs
and add it, along with the salt, dry mustard, and Tabasco. Continue to stir
until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Lower the heat and
keep hot. Poach the remaining 6 eggs and keep them warm while you fry the
bacon on a griddle. Split and toast the English muffins and spread them
with a thin coating of Dijon mustard. Put the muffins on a serving plate,
pour on the cheese, and top with a slice of bacon, a poached egg, and some
more cheese. Serve as hot as possible. Run the muffins under a hot broiler
to glaze the tops, if you like.
