Butter an earthenware baking dish (casserole), break as raany eggs as will be needed into a saucer, one by one, and if found good, slip each into the baking dish. No broken yolk must be allowed nor must they crowd so as to risk breaking the yolk after put in. Put a small piece of butter on each and sprinkle with pepper and salt. Set into a well-heated oven and bake till the whites are set. If the oven is rightly heated it will take but a few min- utes and the cooking will be far more delicate than fried eggs.

From slices of bread half an inch thick stamp out pieces of bread the size of the ramekins; toast and butter them and set one in each ramekin; above these dispose a layer of oysters carefully washed and freed from bits of shell; sprinkle the oysters with salt and pepper, and pour over them two tablespoonfuls of cream sauce (see creamed oysters) made with milk or cream.

Cook one-third cup of flour in the butter with the vegetables, until it is well browned, then add one cup of oyster liquor and one-half cup of cream and stir constantly until the sauce thickens and boils, then strain over the drained oysters and let heat over boiling water.

This dish may be served in either covered or uncovered ramekins. OYSTERS SCALLOPED IN RAMEKINS.
