       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.
