Eggs and Cream

Put one pint of cream into a saucepan and boil it until it is reduced to half a pint. Beat up ten eggs and mix them with the cream and season with salt and pepper. Stir the mixture over the fire until the eggs are curdled; then turn it out onto a hot dish, put a small quantity of grated nutmeg on the top, brown under a salamander, and serve.
