Minced Lamb with Poached Eggs

Take some cold roasted lamb, trim and chop it very fine, season with pepper, salt and a little finely chopped mint. Make some gravy very hot in a saucepan, thicken it with browned flour, stir in the seasoned meat, and let it get hot. Make some triangles of buttered toast, lay a poached egg on each, pour the mince into a flat dish, and garnish with the toast and poached eggs.
