German Toast.—Mince finely the remains of any
nice fricassée, or ragout, with a little parsley,
chives, or shallot, pepper and salt. Mix this with
one or more egg yolks, add the gravy belonging to
the dish, and stir it all over the fire till thick,
then turn it out and leave till cold. Now pile it
up on buttered toast, and either brush it over with
egg and strew it with crumbs, or cover it with the
white of the egg used (whipped to a stiff froth,
and seasoned with minced parsley and coralline
pepper), and set it in the oven till quite hot and
nicely coloured. A few drops of lemon juice should
be squeezed over it at the last. Any remains of a
casserole are excellent served thus, but should be
highly seasoned.
