To serve four persons hard boil 6 eggs, then put them in cold water
for one minute, peel 2 of them, chop the whites, and mix with melted
butter and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and form into nests on 4
pieces of hot "corn bread." Then peel the other 4 eggs, and arrange
one on end in each nest. Pour a little parsley butter on each, and
season with salt and pepper.
MÜNCHNER EGGS
Hard boil 6 eggs, then peel them, and put each on a leaf of lettuce
or cabbage, encircling it with grated horse-radish, and serve with
a sauce made of vinegar to which is added salt and dry mustard.
EGGS IN MARINADE
Hard boil the eggs required, then remove the shells, and stick 4 cloves
in each egg. Put 2 cups of vinegar on to boil, and rub together a
little vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and
1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and stir into the boiling vinegar. Place the
eggs in a glass jar, and pour the boiled vinegar over them. They can
be used in a fortnight, halved or sliced as a garnish or in salads.
EGGS PARISIENNE
Butter as many timbale moulds as are required, and dust the inside
with chopped parsley; then break into each an egg, and sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Set the moulds in water in a shallow pan, and
place in the oven until well set or hard. Turn out onto a flat dish,
or on individual dishes, and with them serve bread sauce, or any
sauce desired.
EGGS PERIGORD
Butter small moulds or cups, then sprinkle them with chopped parsley,
and on the bottom (which will be the top when they are turned out)
place a symmetrical pattern made of cut beets and truffles or pickled
walnuts. Drop one egg into each mould, dredge with salt and pepper,
and set the moulds in a pan of boiling water; cover, and let cook until
firm. Turn out onto rounds of toast, and serve with a hot tomato sauce,
or any savoury sauce.
EGGS WITH CHEESE
Into a shallow round or oval gratin dish, or small individual dishes,
put melted butter to cover the bottom, and encircle the outer edge
with thinly sliced, rather dry, cheese; inside this break enough
eggs to cover the bottom of the dish, taking care not to break the
yolks. Season with salt and pepper, and put into the oven until the
whites of the eggs are thoroughly set.
EGGS MORNAY
Drop eggs into a buttered baking dish, and then cover them with
a highly seasoned white sauce to which some egg-yolks have been
added (using 1 yolk to each 1/2 cup of sauce), also salt and
paprika. Sprinkle the top with grated cheese, and put in the oven to
bake until the egg is firmly set.
CREAMED EGGS
Butter a shallow dish, pour into it 1 scant cup of milk, and let
heat. When hot cover the surface with eggs, cover, and let poach on
top of stove until set; sprinkle with celery salt, and then cover
with cream, and set in the oven for five minutes. Sprinkle the top
with finely chopped celery tops to serve. This may be cooked in one
large dish or in individual gratin dishes.
