Eggs, Ideal

Cut twelve hard-boiled eggs in two, crosswise, scoop out the yolks and place them in a bowl, adding two teaspoons of caviar, one tablespoon each butter and bread crumbs, a half teaspoon freshly chopped parsley, one tablespoon cream, three saltspoons salt and a saltspoon each cayenne pepper and grated nutmeg. Mix well with a wooden spoon until well amalgamated, then fill up the empty half whites with it. Join together as in their original forms, roll gently in melted butter, then in Parmesan cheese, and fry in boiling fat for two minutes. Lift up, drain on a cloth, dress on a dish with a folded napkin, decorate with a little parsley greens and serve.
