Œufs Brouillés" for Breakfast. (Cataldi's "aux Truffes.")
Break 6 eggs into a basin. Chop up small 2 middle-sized
truffles to the size of fine capers and add them to the eggs.
Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne.
Whilst you are seasoning, a little butter should be browning
in a frying-pan over the fire, watched by the kitchenmaid. Add
the seasoned eggs to the butter, stir gently with an iron or silver
spoon till the mixture is sufficiently cooked. Of course, if you
don't think truffles an improvement, the buttered eggs are very
good alone.
