Break into egg cups and steam ten minutes.
BAKED EGGS.
Put unbroken eggs in one dripping pan and cover with another the same size; bake in a quick oven twenty minutes.
EGG OMELET.
Beat the whites of six eggs separately. Beat the yolks with three table-spoons of milk and one table-spoon of flour; stir the whites in lightly. Cook in a hot buttered skillet. When the edge is cooked, turn over carefully. In two minutes more, double together on a hot platter. Use no salt.
ESCALLOPED EGGS.
Cut light bread in pieces about three inches square and one and a half inches thick; dip in milk, then scoop out about two-thirds of the center. Fill with egg prepared as for omelet, and bake in a quick oven.
RAW OYSTERS.
It is an old theory that a raw oyster digests itself. This is owing to the diastase or glycogen in the liver. A fat oyster is half liver. Cooking destroys this diastase. So also much vinegar and condiments make it slow to assimilate. Alcohol also destroys the diastase. Valuable in nervous dyspepsia, and consequently useful in the early months of pregnancy.
