FORCEMEAT EGGS.

6 eggs, 1 small English onion, a few leaves of fresh sage, or 1/2 teaspoonful of dried powdered sage, a few sprigs of Parsley, pepper and salt to taste, and some paste rolled thin, made of 6 oz. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 2 oz. of butter or vege-butter, and a little cold water.  Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, set them in cold water, and take off the shells.  Cut them in half lengthways, remove the yolks, and proceed as follows:  Chop up the onion very fine with the sage and parsley, and season with pepper and salt.  Pound the yolks very fine, and add the onion and herbs; fill the whites of the eggs with the mixture.  Put the halves together, enclose them in paste, brush them over with the white of egg, and bake until the pastry is done, which will take about 15 minutes.  Serve with vegetables and sauce.

FRENCH EGGS.

6 hard-boiled eggs, 1/2 pint of milk, 1 oz. of butter, 1 dessertspoonful of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1 dessertspoonful of finely chopped parsley, nutmeg, pepper, and salt to taste.  Boil the milk with the butter, thicken it with the flour, smoothed previously with a little cold milk; season to taste.  When the milk is thickened shell the eggs, cut them into quarters lengthways, and put them into the sauce.  Last of all, put in the parsley, and serve with sippets of toast laid in the bottom of the dish.

MUSHROOM AND EGGS.

4 hard-boiled eggs, 1/4 lb. of mushrooms, 1 teaspoonful of parsley chopped very fine, 1 oz. of butter, pepper and salt.  Stew the mushrooms in the butter, and season well; chop up the eggs and mix them with the mushrooms, adding the parsley; heat all well through, and serve on sippets of toast.

MUSHROOM SOUFFLE.

4 eggs, 1 oz. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1 oz. of butter, 6 oz. of mushrooms, pepper and salt to taste.  Peel, wash, and cut in small pieces the mushrooms, and stew them in 3/4 of a teacupful of water.  When the mushrooms have stewed 10 minutes, drain off the liquid, which should be a teacupful.  Melt the butter in a little saucepan, stir into it the wheatmeal, and when this is well mixed with the butter, add the mushroom liquor, stirring the mixture well until quite smooth and thick and coming away from the sides of the saucepan.  Then stir in the mushrooms, and turn all into a basin and let it cool a little.  Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs, and stir each yolk separately into the mixture in the basin.  Season to taste.  Whip up the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, and mix them lightly with the rest.  Turn the mixture into a buttered pie-dish or souffle tin, and bake the souffle 15 minutes.
