Cold (Picnic Eggs) - Cut hard-cooked eggs in half, either lengthwise or crosswise. Mash the yolks, season with salt, pepper, butter, a little mustard and vinegar. Minced potted ham may be added, or the yolks may be mixed with mayonnaise dressing. Refill the whites with the mixture; press two halves together, and wrap each egg in a square of waxed paper.
Hot - Omit vinegar, add nuts to the egg mixture, moisten with evaporated milk and refill whites. Cap with large sauteed mushrooms. Pack into greased baking dish, caps up, cover with rich white sauce, then buttered crumbs and brown in 3 50° oven.

Make a white sauce of the fat, flour, and milk, and add the egg-yolks, slightly beaten. Add all the seasonings, then fold in the stiffly beaten egg-whites. Fill greased baking-dishes two-thirds full of the mixture. Set dishes in a pan of hot water and poach in a slow oven (250°-350° F.) until firm. Arrange on a platter and serve with tomato cream sauce.
