Dropped Eggs

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Break the eggs in a saucer one at a time, being careful to keep the yolk from breaking. Have ready in a dripping- pan some boiling water or milk. Into this slide the eggs, letting them cook until set. Take them up in a skimmer, put them on a dish, season with butter, pepper and salt, and if preferred put them on buttered toast.
