Creamed Eggs.
4 slices of toast.
4 hard-boiled eggs.
2 tablespoonfuls of butter.
1/4 teaspoonful of pepper.
1 teaspoonful of salt.
1 tablespoonful of flour.
3 gills of milk.
Cut the eggs into thin slices. Cut the slices of toast in halves, and lay them in a warm platter. Put the butter on the fire, in a frying-pan, and when it becomes hot add the flour. Stir until the mixture is smooth and frothy. Gradually add the cold milk, stirring all the time. When this boils up, add the salt and pepper.
Mix the eggs with the sauce and spread on the toast. Bake in a moderate oven for six minutes and serve immediately.
