POACHED EGGS
For this the eggs should be new-laid and cold. Pour 1 quart of water, 1 teaspoon salt✪ Spanish Omelet and 1 teaspoon
vinegar in a shallow pan, arrange in it as many muffin rings as there are eggs to be cooked, and set the pan
where the water will bubble at one side only. Break the eggs 1 at a time and slide them into the rings. If
the water does not cover them, gently pour on a little more boiling water till it does. Cook till the whites
are set over the yolks, then pour off most of the water and with a cake-turner lift each egg and lay on a
buttered slice of toast, removing the ring after it is in place. Poached eggs may be done in milk, stock,
gravy or tomato juice, which can be poured over the toast on which they are served. Th.-^y may be used
with various arrangements of hashed meat or cold fish reheated in white sauce. Tlie, are a favorite
accompaniment to ham and bacon.
SAVORY EGGS
Simmer some eggs hard, take off their shells and cut them in half, cut off a little piece of each end
of the halves to make them stand upright. Take out the yolks, pound them and mix them with a little
finely minced hot chicken and ham, fill the white again with the mixture and pour round, but not over,
the eggs, a rich gravy. If liked, these may be served cold, surrounded by finely cut endive and small let-
tuce leaves, garnished with beetroot✪ Savory Eggs.
DEVILED EGGS
Simmer eggs 30 minutes, take from water and remove shells, cutting the eggs into halves lengthwise,
and remove yolks while eggs are hot and add butter size of a walnut, a pinch of salt, | teaspoon of mus-
tard mixed in vinegar. Mix together and press back into the white part smoothly, and serve on lettuce
leaves✪ Deviled Eggs. These are nice for a picnic lunch.
SCALLOPED EGGS
Make a mincemeat of chopped ham, fine bread crumbs, pepper, salt and some melted butter. Moisten
with milk to a soft paste. Half fill patty-pans with the mixture, break an egg✪ Scalloped Eggs carefully upon the top of
each, dust with pepper and salt, sprinkle finely-powdered, buttered crumbs over all. Set in the oven and
bake 8 minutes.
