Brown-Bread Relish

Put a little bacon fat in a frying-pan. When it is hot add any cut slices of Boston brown bread and brown carefully. Slip a poached egg on each slice and serve hot.

Bird's-nest Toast (for an Invalid) Cut a slice of stale bread in a large circle. Toast it carefully over a slow fire until a delicate brown. Dip the edges very quickly in hot salted water and put it on a hot baking-tin, where it will keep warm. Butter it if butter is allowed. Separate a perfectly fresh egg. Add a little salt to the white and beat to a stiff froth. Pile this on the toast, make a depression in the center, into which carefully slip the yolk. Heat in the oven just enough to "set" the yolk, and serve it on a warm plate.
