Ingredients
Method
- Rub the bottom of a baking dish with butter.
- Dust it lightly with salt and pepper.
- Break in as many fresh eggs as required.
- Stand the dish in a basin of water and cook in the oven five minutes, or until the whites are "set." While these are cooking, put two tablespoonfuls of butter in a pan and shake over the fire until it browns.
- When the eggs are done, baste them with the browned butter, and send to the table.
