Celery Au Gratin Recipe

Wash and trim four heads of celery; set in a stewpan with a teaspoonful

of vinegar, salt and cold water; boil until tender and drain dry. Make

some sauce with a tablespoonful of butter, the same quantity of flour

and half a pint of milk. Cook while stirring till it thickens; add the

yolk of one egg and a tablespoonful of grated cheese; stir the sauce,

but do not let it boil. Arrange the celery in a pie dish, sprinkle bread

crumbs over and little bits of butter; cover with sauce and brown in the

oven. Serve in the dish in which it is cooked.
