Ham and Egg Toasts

Chop finely some cold cooked ham, toast some slices of bread and butter them. Spread the ham on the toast, and put them in the oven for three or four minutes. Beat six eggs in a teacupful of milk, and add a little salt and pepper. Put two table-spoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, pour in the beaten eggs, and stir over the fire until thick, but do not let boil. Arrange the ham on a dish, the toast also, pour the eggs over, and serve.
