Make these for lunch the day after you have had roast chicken, duck or turkey for dinner. Boil 6 eggs hard, cut neatly in half and extract the yolks; rub these to a paste with some melted butter, pepper and salt and set aside. Pound the minced meat of the cold fowl fine in the same manner and mix with the egg paste, moistening with melted butter as you proceed, or wit ha little gravy if you have it to spare. Cut a slice from the hollowed whites of the eggs to make them stand; fill in with the paste, arrange close together upon a flat dish and pour over them the gravy left from yesterday's roast heated boiling hot, and mellowed by a few spoons of cream or rich milk. Mrs. Stella L. Guthrie.
Cook four eggs till hard. Make a white sauce by melting one heaping tablespoonful of butter and mixing with it one heaping tablespoonful of flour, then add slowly one cupful of milk. Season with salt and pepper and cook until thick. Chop the whites of the eggs and add to the sauce. When ready to serve pour the sauce and whites into a dish and press the yolks seasoned with salt and pepper, through a sieve over the sauce. This is nice served on buttered toast.
