Eggs on a Dish, Omer Pacha

Melt a little butter on a dish that can go in the oven; when heated break in twelve eggs, one beside the other, keeping the yolks whole; cook in a moderate oven for five to six minutes. Fry in butter two ounces of chopped onions and as much cut-up green peppers, add three gills of tomato sauce (No. 49) and half the quantity of half-glaze sauce (No. 413) and white wine; reduce, not having it too thick, then add bacon prepared by mincing unsmoked bacon; fry it in butter, moisten with gravy (No. 404) and Madeira wine, then cook and reduce the moistening entirely; pour this prepared sauce over the eggs or else serve in a separate sauce boat.
