cheese and egg

[MargaretR]

I just break the egg into a hollow on top of the grated cheese. Add a drop of milk and a knob of butter onto the yolk to stop it getting leathery

right here it goes grate some cheese put milk in a knob of butter put in oven when done drop your egg in just for 5mims.
i made it for tosh the other night.

That's how we used to have it Steeljack .. gives a lovely crust on top ...

Trouble is no cooking cheese anymore, which was slightly stronger and more solid .. the cheese would stretch on your fork as you pulled it out from the tin.

thought it was just regular plain Lancashire cheese ? kind of crumbly , and none of the fancy additives like chives , pimentos or other stuff they put into modern day "heritage" cheeses

My gran always used Lancashire cheese

I haven't seen cooking cheese for years. I know asda used to sell it, but haven't seen it for ages.

I suppose they may still sell it on the market somewhere

I think it was called cooking cheese because it was getting a bit stale,,towards the end ,,,it was before the prepacks,,,when they would cut a chunk off a very large cheese and weigh it ..Those were the days when food tasted of real food
