Bread crumbs and parsley rubbed fine; a little chopped onion; 3 eggs beaten lightly. Add a cup of milk, pepper, salt and a little nutmeg, with a tablespoonful of butter. Bake in a moderate oven.

Separate the whites from the yolks keeping each yolk separate. Salt the whites, while beating to a stiff froth, then spread on a platter. Place the yolks at regular distances apart in cavities made in the beaten whites, and bake in a moderate oven till brown.

Eggs (au miron) with Asparagus

Cut off the green part of the asparagus the size of peas, and scald in hot water a few minutes, then put in the saucepan with a little butter, small bunch of parsley and young onions tied together (so that it can be removed before breaking the eggs on the asparagus). Add a little flour, water, salt, pepper and a little sugar, stewing together till the water is evaporated. Then put in a baking-dish and break some eggs over the top. Put a little salt, pepper and nutmeg over the eggs and cook in the oven, but not long enough to let the eggs get hard. Serve immediately.

Corn Omelet

Take the well-filled ears of corn, cut the kernels down the center, being careful not to loosen them from the cob; then takeout the pulp by pressing downward with a knife. To 3 tablespoons of corn pulp add the well-beaten yolks of 3 eggs and a little salt. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, mix with the corn, and put in a hot pan with a little butter. Cover, and place where it will not burn. When done, fold over and serve on a hot dish.
