Step l. Grate cheeses, put into small bowl of electric mixer. Add egg, milk, crushed garlic, sifted flour and baking powder, salt and pepper. Beat on medium speed 5 minutes. Step 2. Remove crusts from bread. Spread about 2 tablespoons of mixture on to each slice of bread, right to outer edges. Cut each slice into four squares.
