EGG WITH WHITE SAUCE FOR LUNCHEON

Cut stale bread into one-fourth
slices and shape into rounds, then saute in olive oil. Arrange on a hot
platter and on each place a French poached egg. Cover with Marnay sauce,
sprinkle with buttered breadcrumbs and put in oven just long enough to
brown crumbs. For the Marnay sauce, cook one and one-half cups of
chicken stock with one slice of onion, one slice carrot, bit of bay
leaf, a sprig of parsley and six peppercorns until reduced to one cup,
then strain. Melt one-fourth cup of butter, add one-fourth cup flour,
and stir until well blended, then pour on gradually while constantly
heating the chicken stock and three-fourths cup scalded milk. Bring to
the boiling point and add one-half teaspoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon
paprika, two tablespoons of Parmesean cheese and one-half cup goose or
duck liver, cut in one-third inch cubes.
