Eggs a la Polonaise.

Cut twelve hard-boiled eggs in halves, separate the whites from
the yolks, and pound the latter in a mortar, adding about one ounce
of butter, a pinch of salt, half a pinch of ground spice, a saltspoonful
of grated nutmeg, and five raw yolks ; when well blended, without
any lumps, strew half a tablespoonful of very fine chopped parsley
over, and add the whites of the five eggs well beaten. Garnish the
bottom of a baking-dish with this preparation, laying it in about a
finger thick ; also fill the whites with a part of it, making them have
the appearance of whole eggs. Arrange them tastefully on top, and
set the dish in the oven ; brown slightly for about five minutes, remove
it from the oven, lay the dish on top of another, wipe the sides
carefully, and serve immediately.
