Mushrooms with Eggs. Allow 1 large mushroom to each egg. Trim the mushrooms and cut them small ; place them in a small stew-pan with i oz. of butter to each mushroom and a seasoning of pepper and salt, and allow them to gently stew for 20 minutes. Break the eggs into a basin and whip them ; add a tablespoonful of milk to each egg, and pour the mixture over the mush- rooms in the stew-pan. Stir them gently with a wooden spoon until the mixture is lightly set, and serve it heaped on slices of hot buttered toast. i2o HOW TO COOK VEGETABLES. Mushroom Omelet. Prepare the mushrooms and eggs exactly as in the preceding recipe, but do not mix them. Melt \ oz. of butter in a small frying-pan or omelet-pan, and when it is quite hot pour in the beaten egg and milk. It is well for a novice in omelet-making not to exceed 4 eggs, because of the difficulty of shaping a large omelet. Stir the mixture at first, and when it begins to set pour the stewed mushrooms over one- half of the upper side of the omelet. Raise the other half from the pan and fold it over, jam-turnover fashion, and if it is not nicely coloured, brown it with a salamander and serve it as quickly and as hot as possible. Mushrooms au Gratin. Trim 12 large mushrooms by peeling them and removing the stalks. Spread each one with a mixture made from 4 chopped mushrooms, 1 oz. of minced ham, 4 chopped shallots, a teaspoonful of chopped parsley, and a pinch of sweet herbs with pepper and salt to taste. Before putting the mixture on the mushrooms set it in a moderate heat in a small stew- pan for about five minutes, and then stir in 1 oz. of butter
