Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked
  • a slice of hard-boiled yolk of egg
  • 1/2 peck spinach
  • 1 teaspn
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 full
  • six diamond shaped pieces from the poached white

Directions

1

½ peck spinach (2 cups cooked). Cook; drain very dry and rub through a fine colander. Add 1 teaspn. oil or melted butter, beat in the yolks of 2 eggs and fold in the whites beaten moderately stiff. Fill well oiled mold about ¾ full. Set in pan of hot water and bake (covered until nearly done) in moderate or slow oven until firm in the center, 45-60 m. Do not bake too rapidly or too long. When done, set the mold out of the water, let it stand a moment to settle, and invert carefully on to a platter or chop tray. Serve at once with quarters or sixths of lemon or with one of the cream sauces, or with Sauce Amèricaine.

2

Baked tomatoes are very suitable for a garnish or accompaniment.

3

Individual Daisy Soufflés= make pretty garnishes for timbales and molds. Small custard cups, or the imported tin molds, being suitable for them. Oil molds well with cold oil or softened (not melted) butter and leave in a cool place.

4

Prepare daisies by cutting a small round piece from a slice of hard-boiled yolk of egg and six diamond shaped pieces from the poached white, for each, and arrange like daisies in the bottom of the mold, the oil holding them in place.

5

Press the spinach mixture into the molds, taking care not to displace the daisies, and bake the same as the large mold, only a shorter time, 30-35 m., or until puffed in the center and firm to the touch. Invert on to rounds of toast and place as desired.
