POLIGNAC MOULDED EGGS Butter some baba-moulds, and garnish the bottoms with a Slice of truffle. Break an egg into each; season, and poach in a bain-marie. Turn out the moulds upon little round pieces of toast; arrange them in a circle on a dish, and coat the eggs with Maitre-d’ Hotel butter, the latter being dissolved and mixed with three tablespoonfuls of melted meat-glaze per every one-quarter lb. of its weight
