All Day and All Night Corn Bread

Cooks' Note

When the corn bread has cooled, one 2-inch square can be removed. Open the square horizontally so there is a top and a bottom. Put in one slice of Swiss cheese or Monterey Jack cheese and warm in a toaster oven. Serve for breakfast with the hot beverage of your choice.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
