Fillet of bass, 1905. I originated this style in 1905, hence the name. Cut fillets of any kind of bass in pieces about three inches square, and free from skin and bones. Place on a piece of toast in a buttered shirred egg dish; salt, pepper, and place three nice heads of fresh mushrooms sauté in butter, on top of the fish. Put a soupspoonful of maître d'hôtel butter on top of the mushrooms, cover with a glass globe and bake in oven for twenty minutes. Just before serving uncover the fish, pour a little white wine sauce on top, re-cover, and serve.
