Take what is left of boiled or baked fresh fish, remove the bones and skin, and warm it in hot milk enough to moisten. Turn it out on a platter. Poach three or four eggs and lay them on the fish. Mix one tablespoon of chopped parsley, a few grains of cayenne, and a little salt with two tablespoons of butter melted. Pour this evenly over the eggs, and serve at once and very hot.
Shell six hard-boiled eggs and cover with a paste made of one-half cup of stale bread-crumbs cooked soft in one-half cup of milk, one cup of lean boiled ham minced very fine and seasoned with cayenne and one-fourth teaspoon of mustard and one raw egg beaten.
Roll slightly in fine bread-crumbs and fry in hot deep fat a delicate brown. These are nice for picnics, or to serve with salads.
Boil eggs twenty minutes, and when quite cold shell them and cut in two lengthwise. Have ready one tablespoon of butter melted and on a hot plate, add to it a little salt and pepper; one egg beaten with one tablespoon of cold water on another plate, and fine dry bread-crumbs on still another. Dip the egg halves first in the melted butter, then in egg, then in crumbs, and fry in deep fat. Serve with curry sauce.
Beat two eggs slightly; add one saltspoon of salt and half as much pepper, and two tablespoons of milk, water, stock, or fruit juice. Pour into the omelet pan in which one tablespoon of butter has been melted. Shake gently, and with a fork or palate knife roll or scrape toward one side of the pan. When creamy turn on to the other side, and when slightly colored, serve at once.
Separate the yolks and whites of two eggs. Beat the whites stiff, add the yolks and beat again; add two tablespoons of milk, season with salt and pepper and pour into a small frying-pan in which one teaspoon of butter has been melted. Shake the pan gently to prevent sticking; when firm, fold and serve immediately.
From one-fourth to one-half cup of any hot meat or vegetable minced and seasoned may be mixed with an omelet before cooking, or be folded into it just before serving.
The tender tops are preferred, and after cooking should be drained and heated in butter.
Use cauliflower, celery, etc., in the same way.
Cook an omelet in bacon fat instead of butter, and serve, garnished with crisp curls of bacon.
Soak one-half cup of crumbs in one-half cup of milk, and mix with the eggs before cooking.
Parmesan, Gruyere, or any dry cheese may be grated and sprinkled over the omelet before folding.
Cheese may be added to the bread omelet.
Mix one-half cup of white sauce with an omelet before cooking, and pour another half cup around it before serving.
Sprinkle fine chopped ham over the egg mixture as soon as it is put in the frying-pan.
Sweeten the omelet slightly when mixing, and spread one or two tablespoons of warm jelly over it before folding
Have ready a mixture of vegetables, hot and seasoned, and fold into an omelet.
Parboil, drain, and cut up the oysters, and serve in and around the omelet.
Put one tablespoon chopped parsley in the omelet before cooking.
Fold in a mixture of tomato, mushrooms, and green peppers stewed in a little butter, or serve with a Spanish sauce.
Fry three slices of bacon crisp, remove it, and in the same fat cook one sliced onion until light brown. Beat three eggs slightly, season with cayenne, add three tablespoons of thick stewed tomato, the fried onions, and the crisp bacon, finely crumbled. Turn into a greased omelet pan, and pick it up with a fork as the egg thickens, then let it color slightly, roll over, and turn out on a hot platter.
