Eggs and Bread

Take a penny loaf, soak it in a quart of milk for two hours, or till the bread is soft. Put to it two table-spoonfuls of orange-flower water or rose-water; sweeten it, and grate into it a little nutmeg. Take a dish and butter the bottom of it, break in as many eggs as will cover the bottom, pour in the bread and milk, beat all briskly with a fork, and bake in a well-heated oven for half an hour.
