Savoury Pie

Butter a pie-dish very thickly, and cover the bottom with a layer of chopped mushrooms. Place upon these two ounces of tapioca which has been soaked for ten minutes in a quarter of a pint of water, and sprinkle over it a moderate-sized onion and two or three sage-leaves chopped small. Add three hard-boiled eggs, also chopped small, and a seasoning of pepper and salt. Lay two ounces or more of butter broken into little pieces here and there on the surface, cover the dish with pastry, and bake in a well-heated oven. When the pastry is done the pie will be cooked enough.
