Ingredients

Units: US Metric
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 pint of grated bread crumbs, 1 teaspoonful of Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoonful of salt
  • 1/10 teaspoonful of pepper
  • 3 generous teaspoonfuls of butter
Make it lactose-friendly
  • 1/2 pint of grated bread crumbs, 1 teaspoonful of Parmesan cheese → lactose-free or aged hard cheese (naturally lower lactose)
  • 3 generous teaspoonfuls of butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil

Swaps are suggestions, not medical advice. Check labels if lactose is a serious issue for you.

Steps

  1. Mix the salt, pepper, cheese, and butter with the crumbs. Beat the white of one egg to a stiff froth; then add the yolk and beat for a moment longer. Stir this egg mixture into the other ingredients.
  2. Butter a gratin dish—or a small pie plate will do—and make little nests in it with the preparation. Cook in rather a hot oven for ten minutes. Take from the oven, and then break a fresh egg into each nest. Return to the oven and cook for three minutes longer. If there be objection to cheese, a teaspoonful of chopped parsley and a few drops of onion juice may be substituted for it.
