Editorial context
Appearing with an accompanying photographic illustration in the pages of Good Housekeeping, this savory breakfast or luncheon dish resembles an early version of eggs in a nest. Stiffly beaten egg white is mounded onto buttered toast, indented to hold the intact yolk, and quickly baked in a hot oven until lightly browned.
