Ladies’ Cabbage au Maître d’Hôtel.
Boil a cabbage in two waters. (Salt the second, and put into your stock-pot.) Let it get perfectly cold; chop fine; mix with two beaten eggs, a few spoonfuls of your soup-stock, a great spoonful of butter, the juice of a lemon, pepper and salt. Pour into a buttered pudding-dish, bake covered, forty minutes, brown, and serve in the dish.
