Fried Eggs with Tarragon Butter

Thoroughly heat half teaspoon butter in a small frying pan; carefully crack in two fresh eggs. Season with half saltspoon salt and a third of a saltspoon white pepper; fry on the range for two minutes, then place in a brisk oven for one minute. Remove, carefully glide the eggs on a large hot dish and keep hot. Repeat, making five more similar operations. When all on the dish, sprinkle over a teaspoon very finely chopped fresh tarragon.

Place an ounce of butter in a small frying pan on the range; toss until it gets a nice brown colour, then pour in a tablespoon good tarragon vinegar; lightly mix and immediately pour it over the eggs, evenly divided, and serve. N. B. If convenient, use two small pans at a time in place of one.
