| Hard boil four eggs; cut
into several pieces. Then prepare the following:
Boil down to a syrup one
heaping tablespoon of sugar, rind of one-quarter of lemon, one scant cup
of water, and a little piece of cinnamon.
Then remove the lemon-rind
and the cinnamon, and add one cup of milk or cream.
When heated through, take
off of fire, and add the yolks of four eggs, beating well together.
Then pour the sauce over
the hard-boiled eggs in a shallow baking-dish, put it in a very moderate
oven, and bake.
Before serving squeeze on
a little lemon
juice and garnish with squares
of fried bread.
