Shredded Wheat With Sliced Bananas Poached Eggs On Toast Coffee

Shredded Wheat With Sliced Bananas

Put the shredded wheat biscuits in the oven for a few minutes to make them very crisp, slice 1/2 banana over each and serve with cream and sugar.

Poached Eggs

Brush over the bottom of an iron frying pan with butter or oil, then partly fill with boiling water, adding salt or a little lemon juice or vinegar; break the eggs, one at a time, into a cup and very gently slip into the boiling water. The eggs will lower the temperature of the water so that it will not boil; now keep it below the boiling point and let the eggs remain in the water five or six minutes until cooked to the consistency desired.

Remove from the water with a skimmer and arrange on slices of toast.

Preparing The Meal

The first thing in the morning put on a kettle of water to heat. Then grind the coffee and when the water is hot make it; now cut the bread for the toast, fill the cream pitchers and attend to setting the table

Put the shredded wheat biscuits in the oven to heat; when crisp serve, slicing bananas over them just before sending to the table.

Start the eggs to poaching and while they are cooking make the toast, watching the eggs in the meanwhile.

When the eggs are done remove from the water to slices of toast and send at once to the table. Serve the coffee and buttered toast at the same time.
