EGGS WITH CHESTNUTS
This is an exceedingly nice dish to serve in the Fall when chestnuts
are fresh. Shell a quart of chestnuts, blanch them, then boil them
until tender; drain and press through a colander. Add a half cupful of
hot milk, a tablespoonful of butter, a teaspoonful of salt and a
saltspoonful of pepper. Beat until light and stand over a kettle of
hot water while you poach six or eight eggs. Dish the chestnut puree
in a small platter, cover the poached eggs over the top, dust them
with salt, pepper and chopped parsley.
