Modern guidance to help you succeed with this vintage recipe
The egg acts as a binder and emulsifier, helping the cheese spread adhere to the bread while creating a custard-like texture when exposed to heat. Broiling from above renders the bacon fat, which drips down to baste the cheese mixture, while the Maillard reaction creates a golden-brown crust on both the bacon and cheese topping. The mustard's acidity cuts through the richness and helps prevent the cheese proteins from becoming rubbery under high heat.
The cheese mixture can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature for 15 minutes before spreading for easier application. Do not assemble the toasts until ready to broil, as the bread will become soggy.
These toasts are best served immediately after broiling. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a 375°F oven for 8-10 minutes, though the bread will lose its crispness and the bacon may become chewy.
