In the top of a double boiler, combine the cream, cheddar, white pepper,

and nutmeg. Stir over hot water until the cheese melts and the mixture is

well blended. Remove from the heat and cool to lukewarm. Generously

butter a large baking sheet and set aside. Cut the bread slices diagonally

and dip each triangle into the cheddar mixture. Place 1/2-inch apart on

the baking sheet and bake until browned and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Serve

hot.
