Eggs, Stuffed them in the nest. If you wish, you can heap wine jelly about them by the spoonful, or half bury them under whipped cream. Eggs in Patty-shells. — Put six fresh eggs in boiling water for seven min- utes ; remove and put in cold water. Peel and slice them. Cut in small pieces four chicken livers or half a pound of calf’s liver. Peel, wash, and cut in slices % lb. of small, fresh mushrooms. Put in a small sauce- pan one table-spoonful of green or white onions, chopped fine, with one table-spoonful of butter. Cook the onicns four minutes; toss them, as they must not brown ; add the livers and mushrooms, seasoned with half a table-spoonful of salt and half a salt- spoonful of pepper. Cook four min- utes while stirring ; add two table- spoonfuls of Madeira wine, half a table-spoonful of chopped parsley, and the eggs for enough time to be warmed. Place the patty-shells in the oven for four minutes, fill up each one with the mixture, and arrange them on a hot, round platter ; put the remainder of the mixture in the cen- tre and around the platter. Serve very hot. Eggs and Potatoes. — Boil seven or eight floury potatoes and mash them while quite hot ; add T oz. of butter, the yolk of an egg, pepper and .salt, and, if liked, a little pounded onion, and boiled minced parsley. Roll the potatoes into egglike shape, brush them over with beaten egg, and cover with fine bread-crumbs, well seasoned with salt and white pepper. Put them into an oven to brown, or fry in lard or dripping till they are of a fine brown color ; lay them before the fire to drain, if fried, and serve garnished with fried parsley. Time, half an hour to boil potatoes. Eggs, Poached. — Put a pint of water into a stewpan, with four teaspoonfuls of vinegar and half a teaspoonful of salt; place it over the fire, and, while boiling, break the eggs into it near the surface of the water, and let it boil gently about three minutes. Lay upon a dish a thin piece of toasted bread; take the eggs out carefully with a small strainer, and lay the strainer with the eggs upon a cloth for a second, to drain the water from them ; then set them carefully upon the toast and serve very hot. Eggs, Potted. — Pound the hard- boiled yolks of twelve eggs with anchovy sauce. Mix them to a paste with 2 ozs. of good, fresh butter, and season with two teaspoonfuls of salt and one of white pepper. Have ready some small pots, and chop the whites of the eggs very small. As the pots are being filled with the paste, strew in the chopped whites, and cover over the tops with clarified butter. These eggs will not keep long. Eggs, Scrambled. — When the pan has been well oiled with good butter, put into it as many eggs as it will hold separately, that each yolk may be entire. When the whites have be- come slightly hard, stir from the bot- tom of the pan till done, adding a piece of butter, and pepper and salt. When done, the yolks should be separate from the whites, although stirred together. Serve on hot but- tered toast with anchovy sauce, potted meat, chee.se, or fish spread over it first. The eggs should be of the consistency of butter. Time, five minutes. Eggs sur le Plat. — Butter well a porcelain platter ; put over the fire ; warm one minute ; break one egg at a* lime in a separate plate, and slide them gently on the hot, buttered platter. Put a few grains of salt and pepper on each ; cook two min- utes without disturbing ; eggs cooked in a small porcelain cocote are done the same way. Eggs, Stuffed. — Half a dozen eggs boiled about eight minutes ; remove the shells, and, when cool enough. IOI Eggs and Sauce EGGS Eggs, Sunshiny cut in half and remove the yolks ; cut the rounded end off each white and stand them on a deep platter; then mash the yolks smooth, with a table-spoonful of butter, some finely chopped parsley, and pepper and salt ; then take a thick slice of stale bread, and, after removing the crust, soak it thoroughly in rich milk ; squeeze a little of the milk from the bread, and mash it up with the other ingredients ; roll lightly into little balls, putting one in each half of an egg.
