As published

This recipe was extracted from The Swedish, French, American cook book (1918) by Hammond, Maria Mathilda (Ericsson) Mrs., page 372. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Egg a la Bird’s Nest ((Euf a la Nid) Cut round pieces of bread (one for each egg) and toast them; spread with butter and grated ham (if ham is not at hand, tongue, anchovy, chicken, or sardine can be used instead). Break the eggs, separate carefully the whites from the yolks, leave the yolks in the shell, raise them onto a plate of flour until ready to use. Beat the whites to a stiff meringue, season with a speck of salt
