Marrow, Croustades Of

Split a large marrow bone and take out the marrow. Put it into a small saucepan with enough water to cover it well, and a pinch of salt. Set on the fire, bring to boiling-point, then take out the marrow and lay it in cold water. When cold, drain it, and pound it with the yolks of three hard-boiled eggs; add a table-spoonful of chopped parsley, a very little thyme, a pinch of salt, and a dusting of cayenne pepper. Mix well. Cut and fry some croustades; place them on a baking-tin. Spread the mixture on them, with a few brown bread-crumbs on the top, and put them in a hot oven for ten minutes. Sprinkle a little chopped parsley on top of each, and serve.
