Recipe Introduction

"During the '40s, Mother had a close group of friends whose husbands or sons were off to war. To ease their worries, the group frequently met for lunch. This was one of my mother's favorite lunch recipes. I recall the scent of melted cheese baking and the custard-like souffle."--CB
