Mince of Ham and Eggs. Chop the remnants of a ham which will no longer furnish slices for the table, put into a frying pan a tablespoonful of but- ter rolled in browned flour, a teaspoonful of vinegar, a little pepper and a quarter teaspoonful of mustard. Let it boil and put in the minced ham. Stir until very hot, turn into a pie dish, set in the oven and break on the surface five or six raw eggs. Shut up in the oven and bake for five or six minutes, just long enough to " set" the eggs. Serve in the pie dish. Baked Eggs. Soak a cupful of bread crumbs in half a cupful of hot milk for twenty minutes, stir in a teaspoonful of butter, the yolk of an egg, a tablespoonful of grated cheese, two tablespoonfuls of savory broth, a little minced onion and a teaspoonful of minced parsley. Pour the mixture into a neat pie plate and set, cov- ered, in a quick oven. In six minutes lift the cover, break as many eggs on the bubbling surface as the dish will hold, sift fine crumbs on top and leave in the oven for three minutes longer. Serve in the dish. Baked Eggs. Place a frying pan over the fire and partly fill it with vin- egar. When the vinegar is boiling, crack the eggs open and drop into the pan, taking care not to break the yolks. With a fork lightly toss the vinegar over the eggs to cook the top. As soon as the white is set, take out the eggs with a skimmer and place upon a dish that can be set in a hot oven. Sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper and cover with grated cheese. Place in a hot oven until cheese is melted, and serve immediately. Mrs. George E. Spencer. La Belle Eggs. .
