Royal Consomme

A mixture of eggs, milk and salt baked in a basin of water adds a new twist to consomme.

Beat two eggs and mix with them half a teacupful of milk and one pinch of salt. Pour the beaten eggs and milk in a basin, stand the basin in a larger one containing hot water, put them in the oven and bake until the contents of the small basin are firm, then take the basins out and put the small one away to cool; when set cut the mixture into small well shaped pieces, and pour over them one quart of boiling consomme, and serve.
