Recipes For Making Shirred Eggs

Eggs Shirred In Tomatoes Recipe (Au Miroir)

Cut circular pieces from the stem ends of the tomatoes and remove part of the pulp; season with salt and pepper, also with onion juice and parsley, if desired; break an egg into each tomato and cook in a slow oven until the egg is set, basting with melted butter. Serve on rounds of buttered toast; or, put the tomatoes into the oven on rounds of bread brushed over on all sides with melted butter; remove the tomatoes on the bread to the serving-dish. Garnish with curled celery. Serve with cream sauce apart, or poured around the toast.

Eggs Shirred With Chicken Forcemeat Recipe

Line buttered china cups with chicken forcemeat; break an egg into the centre of each cup, cover with buttered paper and let poach, standing on a folded paper in a dish of hot water, about ten minutes. Serve with or without a spoonful of Bechamel sauce poured over the top of each egg.

Eggs With Mashed Potato Recipe

Pipe a Duchess potato mixture, or a well seasoned mashed-potato mixture as a border around the inside of an individual egg-dish; spread cooked fine herbs, or bits of meat, or fish in a sauce over the open space on the bottom of the dish; above this break two eggs. Cook in the oven until the eggs are set. Sprinkle the yolks with pepper and serve at once.
