A few browned bread- crumbs. 1 table-sp. melted butter 1 doz. round croutes of fried bread. Shell the eggs and cut them in halves cross- wise. Slice off a little piece from the rounded end of each to enable them to stand, then take out the yolks and pass them through a wire sieve. Put the sieved yolks into a basin, and add to them the butter melted, cream or sauce, the grated cheese, and seasonings. Mix well, and fill the hollow of each half-egg with this mixture. Arrange it in a manner to imitate the yolk, and sprinkle them lightly with browned bread-crumbs. Place each half-egg on a small round croute of fried bread, sprinkle a little melted butter over each. and place them in the oven long enough to heat through. If preferred, a little sauce may be poured on the dish in which the eggs are served.
