Take 3 or 4-lbs. of spinach, boil it in plenty of water with a pinch
of soda and salt for 10 minutes, press through a strainer, and then
rub through a wire sieve; place it in a saucepan with a small piece of
butter and a tablespoonful of milk, stir well whilst being warmed up,
and serve on buttered toast or fried bread, garnish with fingers of
pastry. Rub 2 hard boiled eggs through a sieve and spread on the top.
Decorate with the white of the eggs when sliced.

soufflé dish and bake quickly.
