Blanquette of Veal and Ham

Cut one and one-half pounds of cooked veal into pieces, and mix it with one-half pound of cooked ham, also cut into pieces. Put the meat into a saucepan with one pint of cream sauce, one teaspoonful of lemon juice, a small quantity each of pepper and salt, and boil it. When boiling, move the saucepan to the side of the fire, add the yolks of two eggs that have been beaten with one teacupful of milk, and stir by the side of the fire for a few minutes. Turn the blanquette out onto a hot dish, garnish with slices of hard-boiled eggs, and serve.
