Eggs a la Suisse
Spread the bottom of an iron or tin baking dish with about two ounces of fresh butter, cover this with thin slices of cheese, break eight eggs over the cheese so that each yolk shall be distinct and unbroken; season with grated nutmeg, pepper and salt, pour a gill of cream over all, and strew the top lightly with grated cheese, about two ounces. Set in the oven to bake for a quarter of an hour. If the top is not sufficiently brown, hold a hot shovel over it. Serve with strips of thin, dry toast upon a separate plate.
Stewed stuffed marrow Vegetable marrow scallop
Boil a vegetable marrow till tender, peel, cut in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and firbre. Lay the pieces of marrow carefully on a baking-tin. Take some minced fowl, or veal, ham, breadcrumbs, chopped lemon; a little mace, pepper and salt, all worked togther with a little butter, and, if you have it, the yolk of an egg. Fill each case even with the top. Cover with breadcrumbs, a little butter, and grated cheese, and bake for half an hour in a sharp oven, basting well. Serve very hot with a little gravy.
