Eggs in Aspic

Fill a mould to a third of its height with clear aspic jelly; when cold arrange some slices of hard-boiled eggs on the top, then fill it three parts with more liquid jelly and allow this to set; arrange a layer of eggs as before and fill to the top with more jelly. Let it set for twelve hours on ice if possible. Dip the mould in tepid water, wipe it, turn the jelly out onto a dish, and serve.
