Savoury butter is made by melting good butter, and adding to it any
chopped herb,--chives, parsley, etc. Put a little of this in individual
gratin dishes, and break into them 1 or 2 eggs as desired. Pour a
little of the savoury butter over the top of each egg, season with
salt and pepper, and put in the oven until the eggs are thoroughly
set. If fresh tarragon is available, two nicely shaped leaves crossed
on the yolk of the egg make a pretty garnish, or two leaves of lemon
verbena may be used instead.
EGG MOULD FOR VEGETABLES
Make egg mixture as for egg timbales, and pour into a buttered ring
mould. Cook in pan of water in the oven twenty minutes or until set,
and then turn out onto a hot, round, flat dish, and fill the centre
with hot button mushrooms which are mixed with tomato sauce, or with
peas, either with or without the sauce.
CANUCK EGG TOAST
Sprinkle fresh toast with walnut, mushroom, or any savoury catsup,
then heap on it nicely scrambled eggs in which milk has been used,
and on top put a generous layer of grated cheese; season with pepper
and salt, and put under the oven flame of a gas stove. Let the cheese
brown, then remove and garnish the top with slices cut from black
pickled walnuts, or a few capers, or with thin strips of pimentos,
or chopped chives.
ESCALLOPED EGGS
Hard boil 8 eggs, cut the whites into medium-sized pieces, and press
the yolks through a sieve or ricer. Put 1 cup of milk in a double
boiler, and with it 1 tablespoon of finely minced onion, shallot,
or chives. When the milk boils add to it 1 tablespoon of thickening
flour dissolved in a little milk and stir until thickened. Season
with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, a dash of paprika,
and stir in the riced egg-yolks and the diced whites. Serve in small
dishes, or covered with crumbs and browned in the oven, or on rounds
of toast. One or 2 sweet green peppers finely chopped vary this dish.
I would not enter on my list of friends, though graced with
polished manners and fine sense, yet wanting sensibility,
the man who needlessly sets foot upon a worm.

CHEESE
CHEESE RAMEKINS
Take 1 cup of bread crumbs and 1 cup of milk, and cook together until
smooth; then add 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 scant teaspoon
of mustard, and 6 tablespoons of grated cheese. Stir over the fire
for one minute, then remove, and add salt and cayenne pepper, and
the lightly beaten yolks of 2 eggs; afterwards stir in with a fork
the whites of the eggs, beaten to a stiff froth. Pour into ramekin
dishes, and bake for fifteen minutes in a moderate oven, or cook and
serve in a baking dish.
