EGG SANDWICHES.
" Boil fresh eggs five minutes; peel; take a little white
oS from each end; cut the rest in four slices, and put
between bread and butter." That compound would be
but little better than the egg in its natural state.
Hard-boiled eggs, for any purpose, should be cooked
in water just below the boiling point not less than
twenty minutes ; then the yolk, instead of being
tough, will be soft and mealy. To make sandwiches,
use eggs thus boiled; chop fine; add a teaspoonful of
butter for each egg, and salt and pepper to season;
mix well together. The butter in the mixture holds it
together when cold. Spread on buttered slices of
bread, and put them together. A little chopped ham
may be mixed with the egg for variety.
