1 Clove garlic
1/3 c Plain flour

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
