HARD BOILED EGGS WITH BOILED
DRESSING
 
10 eggs, hard boiled

Peel and cut into halves. Place on serving dish. Pour boiled dressing over all and serve.

BOILED DRESSING:

3 egg yolks, beaten slightly
3 tbsp. warm vinegar

Beat together. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick (about 1 minute). Set aside. In a separate bowl cream:

2 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
3 tbsp. finely minced onion
6 tbsp. finely minced celery

Now stir in vinegar-egg mixture and cool. Fold in 1/2 cup cream, whipped and 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Spoon over this hard cooked eggs and chill in refrigerator. Garnish with paprika and watercress.

When meat is in short supply, we like these eggs served with spinach or turnip greens and new potatoes for a real treat.
