⏱ Time
10 minutes to boil the eggs

🥘 Ingredients

8 eggs, 3/4 pint of Béchamel sauce No. 368, dessertspoonful of finely-minced parsley.

👨‍🍳 Method

Boil the eggs hard; put them into cold water, peel them, take out the yolks whole, and shred the whites. Make 3/4 pint of Béchamel sauce by recipe No. 368; add the parsley, and, when the sauce is quite hot, put the yolks of the eggs into the middle of the dish, and the shred whites round them; pour over the sauce, and garnish with leaves of puff-paste or fried croûtons. There is no necessity for putting the eggs into the saucepan with the Béchamel; the sauce, being quite hot, will warm the eggs sufficiently.

Simple, sustaining, and surprisingly modern

I tried my hand at Eggs à la Tripe this week, and I must say, it was a delightful journey into the Victorian kitchen. I found the technique of shredding the egg whites to be surprisingly satisfying, like giving a delicate haircut to a tiny, oval mop. The key to this dish is the béchamel, which I prepared from another of Mrs. Beeton's recipes. I was delighted to discover that the sauce, when hot, was more than capable of warming the eggs, as promised. The parsley added a fresh, green note that cut through the richness of the béchamel and eggs. This dish would be a wonderful surprise for the weeknight cook looking to elevate their egg game. The presentation, with the shredded whites and whole yolks peeking through the sauce, is quite charming. I served mine with some fried croûtons for a bit of crunch. The whole affair took no time at all, once the eggs were boiled. I'll certainly be making this again when I want a quick, nostalgic trip to the past.
