Eggs A La Gretna
6 eggs
2 heads of celery
2 level tablespoonfuls of butter
2 level tablespoonfuls of flour
1/2 pint of milk
1 teaspoonful of salt
1 saltspoonful of pepper
Cut the celery into inch lengths, wash thoroughly, cover with
boiling water and simmer gently thirty minutes until the celery
is tender; drain, saving the water in which the celery was
cooked for another purpose. Rub the butter and flour together,
add the milk, salt and pepper; when boiling add the celery;
stand this over hot water while you poach the eggs and toast six
squares of bread. Butter the toast, put on each slice one egg;
put these around the edge of a large platter, turn the celery
into the middle of the dish and send at once to the table. To
increase the beauty of this dish, and to give it a greater food
value, you may garnish between the toast and celery with
carefully boiled rice; this then makes an exceedingly nice
supper dish.
