CREAMED ZWEIBACH WITH EGG TIMBALES
COFFEE
Creamed Zweibach
Cut bread or rusk into slices about J^ inch thick, place
in the oven with low heat to thoroughly dry and brown
throughout. Make a Medium White Sauce (3 T flour, i^
c milk✪ Creamed Zweibach), pour over the pieces of Zweibach, and serve at once
with egg timbales.
This slow drying of the bread changes part of the starch
to dextrine, a form of sugar readily assimilated.

Butter timbale moulds or custard cups, and break a fresh
egg into each cup, place 3^ t butter on top of each, set the
mould in a pan of water in the oven until the eggs are set.
Remove from the oven, loosen from the sides of the cup,
and turn out onto pieces of creamed zweibach. Serve at
once.
