RECIPE

10. Eggs in Cases.
Cut up a sheet of paper into pieces three inches square
turn up half an inch all round so as to form a kind of square
case; there will then remain but two inches square in the
inside. Take a small piece of butter, a pinch of fine bread-
crumbs, a little finely-chopped parsley, spring onions, saIt
and pepper, and mix them together ; put a little into each
case, then break one egg into each; put them on a grid-
iron, over a slow fire, and do them gently, or place them
in a dish in an oven; when well set, serve. Small, round
paper cases may be procured very cheap.
