One egg, 1 cup of milk or cream, 1 salt spoon of salt, 3 slices of bread. Break the egg on a plate and beat with a fork for a minute or until the viscousness is destroyed. Then mix in the milk and salt. In this mixture soak the slices of bread until they are soft, lay them in a buttered omelet pan and fry slowly until a golden brown. Then place a bit of butter on the upper side of each slice, turn and brown that side. Spread a little butter, powdered cinnamon and sugar on each slice and arrange one above the other in a covered dish. Serve very hot.

From a thin slice of bread cut out a round piece with a biscuit cutter, toast a delicate brown. Pour some boiling water into a small saucepan, salt it well, place on the stove to boil. Drop 1 egg gently into the pan. At first the egg will cool the water below boiling point, and should it again begin to boil move to a cooler part of stove. When the white is firm, or at the end of about 2 minutes, lift out the egg and place on the round of toast. The egg should not be trimmed. Season with a speck of salt, a little pepper and bit of butter, and serve.
