Eggs With Fish.

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.

Scotch Eggs.

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.

Egg Cutlets.

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.

Omelet

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.

Omelet Souffle Or Puffy Omelet.

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.

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.
