Beef, Breslau

Take three or four ounces of bread-crumbs, beat up three eggs and add them to the crumbs and a small cupful of good brown gravy; break three ounces of butter into small pieces, and mix all together with half a tea-spoonful of salt, one tea-spoonful of grated lemon-peel, two table-spoonfuls of minced thyme and parsley, and a little cayenne. When these ingredients are thoroughly mixed, take of roast beef, rather undercooked, from a half to three-quarters of a pound, mince it very finely, mix well with the forcemeat, and bake for half an hour in buttered coffee-cups. Turn out, and serve with egg-balls round the dish and gravy if liked. Probable cost, exclusive of meat, 8d. Sufficient for a small dish.
