RECIPE

 

  
  
  17. Plovers' Eggs in Aspic.
  When the eggs are boiled, take off the shells, and cut
off a small slice at the broad end of the eggs, that they may
stand upright; have some aspic jelly that is very firm, turn
it out on a marble slab, and cut it in half diamond shapes
or rings, and place these round the dish you intend to
serve the eggs on; put chopped aspic in the centre, and
the eggs on the top. Plovers' eggs may also be served in
a mould of aspic jelly, garnished with truffles and white
of eggs.
