Aspic of Fillets of Soles

Fillet the soles, butter a baking-dish, put in the fillets, squeeze a little lemon juice over and season with salt and pepper; cover the fillets with a sheet of buttered paper and bake them for ten minutes in the oven. When cooked press the soles between two plates till cold. Put a layer of plain aspic jelly into a mould and leave till set. Cut the fillets of soles into small equal-sized rounds, and arrange them tastefully with some fillets of anchovies on the set aspic jelly. Sprinkle a little chopped parsley over them and cover with another layer of aspic jelly. Proceed in this manner, putting alternate layers of sole and aspic until the mould is full, then pack it in pounded ice. Turn the aspic out of the mould onto a dish, stick some slices of hard-boiled eggs on it with ravigote butter, and serve.
