Egg Dishes.

According to the foremost dietary ex'
perts an improperly boiled egg is exceed
ngly difficult of digestion. They de.
clare that If an egg is dropped into boil
ing water, and il boiled steadily for
few minutes, the white of the egg as
sumes toughness which makes it unre-
spopsive to the action of the digestive
fluids for several hours. Let water in a
saucepan come to boil and then set II
back or lower the fame 80 that the
water shall be just below the boiling
point. then drop in the eggs, and for
soft boiled eggs let them remain for five
minutes. Or the eggs may be put on to
the stove in cold water, and the water
come to boil; then set it back for five or
six minutes. To make the egg hard
boiled, it should stay in the water
for forty or forty five minutes. Hard
boiled eggs should be plunged into cold
water as soon as they have been taken
out of the hot water in order to prevent
the yolk from getting a dark coating.
Then roll the egg on fiat surface until
the shell cracks into pieces and pick tue
pieces off.
In cooking poached eggs many house
wives do not know that by adding little
vinegar TO the water the eggs will keep
their shape instead of spreading and
struggling out. There should be about
tablespoonful of vinegar to quart of
water. Add also about teaspoonful of
salt. In mixing scrambled eggs, good
rule to remember is that they should be
whisked in the milk not more than six
times.
Fried eggs are frequently cooked, as
are boiled eggs, go that they are exceed
ingly tough and indigestib.e. This is
when they are put into fat that is too
hot. II one Is cooking bacon and eggs
for breakfast, pour out practically all of
the bacon fat from the frying pan after
taking up the bacon; then carefully low
er the heat before dropping in the eggs.
They should be cooked at slow heat.
If they bubble and show big holes in the
white they are cooking too fast.
Fried eggs or poached eggs on toast
are especially good when served with
brown butter sauce. To make this
sauce for dozen eggs, brown an ounce
of butter in the frying pan, adding to il
a tablespoonful of vinegar, and tea.
spoonful of finely chopped parsley and
pour over the eggs. For simple break.
