Butter thoroughly the inside of as many custard cups as eggs you wish to serve, the eggs are best prepared separately. Separate the white from the yolk of the egg and beat the white, with a little salt, to a stiff froth. Put this into the buttered cup, make a hole in the middle in which to put the yolk, which is not beaten, but left unbroken as it comes from the egg, when ready place the cups in a sauce pan of boiling water, letting the water come half way up the cup. Cook this until the white is set firmly. Invert a warm plate over each cup and turn out egg. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top, if desired, serve at once. Mrs. W.W.H.
Allow 2 tablespoonfuls of sweet milk to every egg. Add butter the size of a walnut and a pinch of salt to the required milk, and heat it to almost boiling point. From a saucer slip the eggs, one at a time, into the milk. With a thin knife cut the eggs into pieces, then carefully free the mixture from the bottom of the pan. Watch closely lest the eggs harden, remove from the fire before they are quite done, turn up from the bottom of pan and let stand a minute before serving. If properly cooked the eggs will have the appearance of yellow and white flakes. An excellent breakfast dish. Edith Hesson.
