Take 3 eggs, 1/4-pt. of milk, a teaspoonful chopped parsley, and a taste
of grated onion juice, pepper and salt. Whisk all in a basin so as to
mix thoroughly. Heat 1-oz. of butter in a frying-pan, then pour in
the mixture and keep putting the knife round the outside to prevent
the omelette adhering, and to make the uncooked centre flow towards
the rim. When nicely set, fold and serve on a hot dish, either with
tomato sauce, or garnished with baked tomatoes.
=83. Eggs Florentine.=
Boil some spinach in water containing a pinch of salt and soda, for
about 10 minutes. Strain well, rub through a sieve, and add a
well-beaten egg. Arrange in a fireproof dish, a thin layer in the
centre and a good ridge all round, and put into the oven for about 10
minutes. Now poach a few eggs and lay in the centre, and sprinkle some
Parmesan cheese over all, add some cheese sauce.
=84. Eggs à la Crême.=
Place a large tablespoonful of cream in each of several small
fireproof china baking or soufflé dishes (about 3-1/2-inches in
diameter). Break an egg in each one, and steam them in a frying pan in
water 1 inch deep until well cooked. Some persons who cannot digest
lightly cooked eggs can safely take them if quite hard.
=85. Mayonnaise Eggs.=
Boil the eggs hard, which takes about 15 minutes, then put them in
cold water; when cold, shell them and cut a piece off the end of each
so that they will stand upright on the dish; pour thick mayonnaise
sauce over them and sprinkle with chopped capers.
=86. Eggs à l'Italienne.=
Boil 1/4-lb. of spaghetti in water, adding some tomato purée or
conserve, and spread it on a dish. Poach 4 eggs and lay them on the
spaghetti, sprinkle finely chopped parsley over the eggs and decorate
the dish with fried croûtons.
=87. Omelette aux Fines Herbes.=
Melt 1-oz. of butter in a perfectly dry frying pan. Beat the yolks of
3 eggs with some finely chopped parsley and a pinch of garlic powder,
pepper and salt. When the butter boils pour in the egg and stir until
it commences to set. Then pour in the whites of the eggs (previously
beaten to a stiff froth). When cooked fold the omelette and turn on to
a very hot dish. Cover at once and serve.
=88. Scrambled Eggs and Tomatoes.=
Peel 4 large tomatoes after dipping them in scalding water, slice and
stew them in a little butter for a few minutes; beat 2 eggs, add them
to the tomatoes, and scramble them until the egg is cooked. Serve on
toast. Green peas may be used for this dish instead of tomatoes.
=89. Oeufs Farcie en Aspic.=
Boil 4 eggs hard and remove the shells and take out the yolks, beat
them in a bowl, and then add 2 teaspoons of salad oil and a little
chopped parsley and thyme, a few breadcrumbs, pepper and salt, mix all
well and fill in each white half, even over with a knife, and glaze.
Serve with Salad and Mayonnaise Sauce.
=90. Spinach and Eggs.=
