EGGS


=To Boil Eggs=

Put your eggs into a bowl which can be sent to the table. Pour boiling
water over them and let stand eight or ten minutes. It is essential
that the water be boiling. This way of boiling eggs, though so simple,
is going out of fashion, unfortunately, as it makes a wonderful
difference in the appearance of the egg when broken open, and above
all, in its digestibility. Eggs should never be boiled in any other way
for invalids.



=Eggs on Toast=

Toast as many slices of bread as desired. Butter well and pour over
these just enough salted water to soften. Have ready a dish of boiling
water. Stir it round and round with a spoon or fork, break the egg and
drop into this swirling water. Remove from the water in from four to
six minutes, as preferred, and place one on each slice of bread. Serve
hot, with a dash of pepper, if liked.
