Put the eggs in a large tin cup or any tin vessel convenient. Pour
boiling water over them, and let them remain near the fire, five
minutes. Do not let them boil. Eggs cooked thus are slightly jellied
throughout. They can be kept hot without becoming hard.--_Mrs. S. T._
SCRAMBLED EGGS.
Beat four eggs very light. Add a teacup milk, thickened with a
teaspoonful flour. Have the pan very hot, put in a tablespoonful
butter, pour in the eggs, and scramble quickly.--_Mrs. E._
_Scrambled Eggs._
Wash the pan with hot water and soap. Wipe dry. Grease with a little
lard. Break into this the eggs, adding a lump of butter and a little
salt. Stir till done.--_Mrs. B._
EGGS FOR BREAKFAST.
Heat in the oven a common white dish, large enough to hold the number
of eggs to be cooked, allowing plenty of room for each. Melt in it a
small piece of butter, break the eggs, one at a time, carefully in a
saucer, and slip them in the hot dish. Sprinkle over them pepper and
salt, and let them cook four or five minutes. It is a great
improvement to allow to every two eggs a tablespoonful of cream,
adding it when the eggs are first put in.--_Mrs. A. M. D._
EGG CUPS--A BREAKFAST DISH.
Boil some eggs perfectly hard. Halve them, take out the yolks, which
mix smoothly with some finely chopped or ground ham or fowl, salt and
pepper, and a few spoonfuls melted butter or salad oil. Cut a piece
off the bottom of each white half, to make them stand, and fill each
with a chopped mixture. Make a sauce of sweet cream, boiled within an
inner saucepan, and pour over the eggs. Decorate the edges of the dish
with sprigs of curled parsley.--_Mrs. A. M. D._
OMELETTE.
Break six eggs in a pan, beat them well together, add half a gill of
milk, pepper and salt to suit the taste, and a few sprigs of parsley
chopped fine. Beat all well together. Have the cooking-pan hot enough
to brown the butter. Put in half a tablespoonful of butter. Pour the
mixture in the pan or skillet to cook. When sufficiently done, roll
with a spoon and turn into the dish.--_Miss E. P._
_Omelette._
Boil one pint milk in a shallow vessel.
Beat up four eggs very light; add salt, pepper, and a little flour,
making it of the consistency of paste. Put this into the boiling milk.
Have a pan well buttered, into which turn the mixture, and set inside
an oven to bake a light brown. Serve immediately.--_Mrs. J. D._
_Omelette._
6 eggs beaten very light.
2 ounces butter.
Salt and pepper to the taste.
Chopped parsley or celery.
Fry a light brown in a well buttered pan. Some minced ham or oysters
improve the flavor.--_Mrs. R._
_Omelette._
4 eggs beaten separately.
3 tablespoonfuls cream.
Salt and pepper to the taste.--_Mrs. G. W. P._
