Eggs, Omar Pasha

Poach twelve fresh eggs. Lay two on each of six individual shirred-egg dishes and keep warm. Heat one and a half table-spoons melted butter in a small saucepan, add two tablespoons flour and thoroughly stir for one minute, then add two gills hot milk and briskly whisk until it comes to a boil. Season with half teaspoon salt, a saltspoon cayenne pepper and half saltspoon grated nutmeg, adding two tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and one raw egg yolk. Sharply whisk for two minutes, then equally divide the same over the eggs. Sprinkle half teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese over the eggs in each dish. Place in a hot oven to bake for three minutes. Remove and serve.
