Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
4 hard-boiled eggs, 8 Spanish olives, 1/2 oz. of butter, pepper and
salt to taste. Halve the eggs lengthway, and carefully remove the
yolks. Pound these well, and mix them with the olives, which should be
previously stoned and minced fine; add the butter and pepper and salt,
and mix all well. Fill the whites of the eggs with the mixture. Pour
some thick white sauce, flavoured with grated cheese, on a hot dish,
and place the eggs on it. Serve hot.
SWEET CREAMED EGGS.
To each egg allow 2 tablespoonfuls of cream, or new milk, 1
teaspoonful of strawberry or raspberry and currant jam, 1 thin slice
of buttered toast, sugar and vanilla to taste. Butter as many cups as
eggs, reckoning 1 egg for each person. Place the jam in the centre of
the cup; beat up the eggs with the cream or milk, sugar and vanilla,
and divide the mixture into the cups. Cover each cup with buttered
paper, stand the cups in a stew-pan with boiling water, which should
reach only half-way up the cups, and steam the eggs until they are
set--time from 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the eggs out on the buttered
toast, and serve hot or cold.
SWISS EGGS.
4 eggs, 3 oz. of Gruyère cheese, 1 oz. of butter, 1 teaspoonful of
finely chopped parsley, pepper and salt to taste. Spread the butter on
a flat baking dish; lay on it some very thin slices of the cheese. On
these break the eggs, keeping the yolks whole; grate the rest of the
cheese, mix it with the parsley; strew this over the eggs, and bake
them in a quick oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
TARRAGON EGGS.
4 hard-boiled eggs, 1/2 pint white sauce, 1 teaspoonful chopped
tarragon, 1 tablespoonful tarragon vinegar, 2 yolks of eggs. Boil the
eggs for 7 minutes, and cut them into slices. Lay them in a buttered
pie-dish, have ready the sauce hot, and mix it into yolks, tarragon,
and tarragon vinegar. Pour over the eggs, and bake for 10 minutes;
serve with fried croûtons round.
TOMATO EGGS.
To each egg take 2 tablespoonfuls of tomato juice, which has been
strained through a sieve; pepper and salt to taste. Batter a cup for
each egg. Beat up the eggs, mix them with the tomato juice, season to
taste, and divide into the buttered cups. Cover each cup with buttered
paper, place them in a saucepan with boiling water, and steam the eggs
for 10 minutes. Serve the eggs on buttered Allinson wholemeal toast.
