Ham Toasts. No. 3. (Mrs. Young, Edinburgh. 1877.)
Breakfast ham does best. Stock ham is not flavoured enough. Cut a slice and cook in second stock ¼ hour. Let it get cold. Have ready also, a whole egg well beaten up.
Mince ham fine, and put in stewpan with little cream or stock, just enough to moisten it. When hot, drop in the beaten up egg and stir well.
You must have slices of fresh toast, ⅓ inch thick, which should be crisp, hot and soft, not buttered. Cut in shape, round or square, with a cutter.
Put as much ham mince on each piece of toast as it will carry.
Dish on hot-water silver dish, no napkin.
