STUFFED EGG PLANT

Egg plant; Mushrooms;

Onion; Cream dressing;

3 hard-boiled eggs; Bread crumbs;

Red pepper; Sweet breads;

Salt; Sherry .

Scoop out the egg plant and place pulp in salt water for iy2 hours. Then drain and boil tender. Mix with the chopped eggs, onion, seasoning and mushrooms (sweetbreads are a nice addition) to taste. Mix all this with a nice, smooth cream dressing, and refill the shell of plant. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and brown in oven, allowing sufficient time to thoroughly heat the shell, or the mixture will take on a raw taste. Sherry is optional, but improves the dish. Never use tin utensils for an egg plant.
