1/2 teaspoonful of paprika
1 teaspoonful of salt
1/2 saltspoonful of pepper

Rub the butter and flour together, add the strained tomato, stir until
boiling, add the mushrooms, sliced, salt, paprika, nutmeg and pepper.
Take a granite or silver platter, put in two tablespoonfuls of butter
extra, let the butter melt and heat; break into this the eggs, being
very careful not to break the yolks. Let the eggs cook in the oven
until "set." Then put around the edge of the dish as a garnish the
boiled rice, pour over the eggs the tomato sauce, dust the top with
the Parmesan cheese and send at once to the table.


FILLETS OF EGGS

6 eggs
4 tablespoonfuls of good stock
1/2 teaspoonful of salt
1 saltspoonful of pepper

Beat the eggs with the stock, add the salt and pepper. Turn them into
a buttered square pan, stand this in another of boiling water, and
cook in the oven until the eggs are thoroughly "set." Cut the
preparation into thin fillets or slices, dip in either a thin batter
made from one egg, a half cupful of milk and flour to thicken, or they
may be dipped in beaten egg, rolled in bread crumbs and fried in deep
hot fat. Arrange the fillets in a platter on a napkin, one overlapping
the other; garnish with parsley and send to the table with a boat of
tomato or white sauce.
