Eggs in a Nest

Take the green part of some cooked asparagus, and place it on a round hot dish to imitate a nest. To do this, place a row of heads slanting close together; go round with a second lot, bringing the heads in the opposite direction. Keep the centre clear by putting something to occupy it while arranging, and keep the dish over hot water. When sufficient is put on to make a thick nest, fill the middle with boiled eggs, shelled, and coated with thick white sauce, and serve with chopped parsley sprinkled over.
