How To Take Egg Recipe

From MRS. HELEN A. PECK, of Missouri, Alternate Lady Manager-at-
Large.
Escalloped eggs makes a savory dish and this is how to prepare them:
Put half a dozen eggs into a sauce pan of boiling water and keep the
pan where it will be hot for half an hour, but not where the water
will boil. At the end of the prescribed time lay the eggs in cold
water for five minutes, and then remove the shells. Cut the whites
into thin slices and rub the yolks through a coarse sieve. Mix both
parts lightly, and after putting the mixture into an escallop dish
pour over it a sauce made as follows: Put two tablespoonfuls of butter
into a frying pan, and when it has been melted add a heaping
tablespoonful of flour. Stir until the mixture is smooth and frothy,
then gradually add a pint of cold milk. Boil up once and season with
salt and pepper. After pouring the sauce over the eggs spread a large
cupful of grated bread crumbs on top of the dish and cook for fifteen
minutes in a hot oven. If care be taken to prevent the eggs from
boiling at any time during the thirty minutes the dish will be
delicate and digestible.
