SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH ASPARAGUS TIPS
Have one cupful of cold, cooked asparagus tips ready. Add to six eggs, well beaten, and cook as above.
SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH DRIED BEEF
Soak one cupful of minced dried beef in boiling water for five minutes. Put it into melted butter, stir over the fire until the butter sizzles, then pour over six or seven well-beaten eggs. Stir until the eggs are smooth and creamy.
FRIED EGGS
Put three tablespoonfuls of butter into a hot frying-pan. When it sizzles, slip in the broken eggs carefully, one at a time. Tip the pan and baste with melted butter while cooking. If wanted crisp on both sides, turn the eggs over when the underside is done. Wet in cold water the saucer on which an egg is broken and the egg will not stick to it, but will slip easily into the pan. Olive-oil may be used instead of butter, but the pan must be covered during the cooking, as the oil spatters.
