Original Text
To broil Eggs. CUT some toast round a quarter of an inch thick, lay it on your dish, butter it, and very carefully break six or eight eggs on the toast, and take a red-hot shovel, and hold over them. When they are done, squeeze a Seville orange over them, grate a little nutmeg over it, and serve it up for a side-dish. Or you may poach your eggs, and lay them on the toast; or coat your toast crisp, and pour a little boiling water over it; season it with a lit- tle salt, and then lay your poached eggs on it.
