Strawberry Pudding

Spread a layer of strawberry jam at the bottom of a buttered pie-dish and cover it thickly with breadcrumbs. Beat four eggs with two ounces of powdered sugar, then put them in a sauce pan with one quart of milk, season with a little grated nutmeg and stir over the fire until thick. Pour the above mixture slowly into the pie-dish with the crumbs, put the pudding in a moderate oven and bake it for half an hour. When done, serve either hot or cold.
