SCRAMBLED EGGS INDIENNE
Make plain scrambled eggs, and just before serving stir into them 1
tablespoon of cream, into which has been stirred 1 teaspoon of curry
powder and 1/2 teaspoon of onion juice. Serve on hot toast.
SPANISH EGGS
For 6 eggs use 1 large tomato and 1 small onion. Chop the onion fine,
and fry it five minutes in 1 tablespoon of butter; then add the
chopped tomato, and stir another minute over the fire. Now pour in
the eggs and scramble them, adding 1 teaspoon of salt and a saltspoon
of pepper. Garnish with small triangles of toast.
SHIRRED EGGS
Butter individual gratin dishes, and break into them 1 or 2 eggs as
desired. Season with salt and pepper, and a sprinkling of finely
chopped parsley, and put into the oven for five minutes, or until
the eggs are set. Place each dish on a small plate with a paper doily.
SHIRRED EGGS WITH TOMATOES
Use as many shallow, individual gratin dishes as there are persons
to be served, and, after buttering each dish, break into it 1 egg,
taking care not to break the yolk. Halve some small tomatoes, and
set one half, cut side up, in each dish; season the whole with pepper
and salt, and set in the oven for ten minutes or less.
GRIDDLED EGGS
Heat a griddle and butter it slightly, and break upon it 3 or 4 eggs,
disturbing the yolks so as to break them. When a little browned on
one side turn them with a cake-turner and fry the other side.
PLAIN OMELET
Put 3 or 4 eggs in a bowl and beat them ten or twelve times with a
fork vigorously. Put 1 scant tablespoon of butter in a frying pan,
and as soon as melted turn in the eggs and shake over a slow fire
until they are set; season with salt and pepper, turn the omelet
together as it is let to slide from the pan, and place on a hot
dish. Make several small omelets rather than one large one, and place
on white paper doilies, and garnish with parsley to serve. The trick
of shaking an omelet is the secret of making a good one, and the egg
mixture should be not over 1/2 an inch deep in the pan.
OMELET SOUFFLÉ
Take 4 to 6 fresh eggs, separate the yolks and whites, and beat each
until as light as possible. Butter a deep frying pan, mix the yolks and
whites lightly together with a fork, and put in the hot frying pan,
smoothing somewhat with a fork to level. Season the top with pepper
and salt, and shake over a slow fire until the omelet is delicately
browned on the bottom; turn it together and serve on a hot platter.
HERB OMELET
Make like plain omelet, stirring with every 4 eggs used 1 teaspoon
each of powdered thyme, or sweet marjoram, sage, chopped onion tops
or chives, and parsley.
CHEESE OMELET
For omelet soufflé made with 6 eggs add 1/4 cup of grated cheese
to the yolks of the eggs, and 1/4 cup to the beaten whites before
putting them together.
In making plain omelet with cheese add 1/4 cup of cheese to 4 eggs
after they are in the omelet pan. Sprinkle with grated cheese to serve,
and garnish with watercress or parsley.
