Chop equal parts of pickled beet and the whites of hard-boiled eggs
together, and arrange on toast or bread with the riced yolks of the
eggs, mixed with a little chopped chives or parsley, in a cone on
the centre. Season well.
BROWN-BREAD SAVOURY
Cut brown bread into shapes, spread with butter, then heavily with
cream cheese containing some salt, and cross two evenly cut strips of
pimento on each piece of bread thus prepared. At the juncture of the
strips of pimento place a slice of pimola, and put one in each space on
the cheese. Sprinkle with paprika, and put a few capers here and there.
CUCUMBER SAVOURY
Cut bread in rounds and arrange on it neat slices of cucumber, the
edges serrated before slicing by drawing a silver fork lengthwise of
the cucumber. Sprinkle with salt and paprika, and on each slice put
a ring from a small sliced onion, or arrange instead the tiny German
pearl pickled onions between the slices of cucumber. Sprinkle a little
lemon juice over to serve. A variation is made by using chopped chives
only, or each ring of onion may be filled with them.
CREOLE SAVOURY
Toast one side of shaped pieces of bread, and butter the untoasted
side, and on it spread a layer of chopped tomato mixed with half as
much chopped green pepper and some salt. Put in the oven or under
the gas flame for five minutes, and upon removing arrange a cone of
finely chopped onion in the centre of each.
EGG SAVOURY
Use fresh bread slightly toasted or less soft bread without
toasting. Cut in squares, diamonds, or rounds, and sprinkle with
Worcestershire sauce, or any good sauce, then cover neatly with the
chopped whites of hard-boiled, well-salted eggs, on which arrange
a centre of the riced yolks. Put a round slice from a black pickled
walnut on each corner, dot with capers, and sprinkle with paprika.
HORSE-RADISH SAVOURY
Spread oblong pieces of bread thinly with mustard, cover with a layer
of chopped whites of hard-boiled eggs mixed with a little grated
horse-radish, arrange capers in strips crosswise of the bread, and
between these sprinkle the hard-boiled yolks of the eggs which have
been riced or pressed through a sieve. At the corners and in the
centre place thin slices of gherkins.
MUSTARD SAVOURY
Cut shaped pieces of bread and spread with made mustard. Cover
them with chopped hard-boiled eggs mixed with a little chopped
chives. Arrange capers in lines or any pattern on this. Season well.
NEUFCHÂTEL SAVOURY
Mix Neufchâtel cheese with 1/4 as much butter and rub to a cream,
and then squeeze through a tube onto salted, hot crackers, forming
star-like rosettes. Sprinkle with paprika, garnish with capers.
ONION SAVOURY
Use shaped pieces of bread and spread thinly with butter, then arrange
a quarter-inch layer of finely minced Spanish onion mixed with chopped
parsley and slightly dampened with tomato sauce; put in the centre of
each the ring of a slice of hard-boiled egg, with a slice of pickled
walnut fitted into it.
