Put into a saucepan half a pint of hot, boiled rice, half a pint of hot tomato sauce (No. 205), two good-sized mushrooms, cut julienne-shaped, one truffle cut the same, and two table-spoonfuls of grated Parmesan cheese; season with half a pinch of salt, half a pinch of pepper, and the third of a pinch of grated nutmeg, and let cook on the hot stove for five minutes, stirring it lightly with the spat-ula. Leave the pan on the corner of the stove to keep warm, while putting half an ounce of good butter on a silver dish, and when placed on the hot stove, crack in twelve fresh eggs, being careful not to break the yolks; season with half a pinch of salt and the third of a pinch of pepper, then let cook for two minutes.
