Salt Fish with Dropped Eggs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pint cooked salt cod flaked
  • 1 pint milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 6 eggs
  • 6 bread slices toasted
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Put milk on to boil, keeping half a cupful of it to mix the flour. Whisk in flour with 1/2 cup of milk. Once the milk boils, whisk in flour/milk mixture.
  2. Add the fish, season with salt and pepper, and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat water in a pot on medium high heat until it boils. Break each egg onto a small plate, then let the egg slide into the water. Poach all six eggs until desired doneness.
  4. Place the toasted bread on a platter. Pour the fish cream over each slice, then top with a poached egg.
  5. Garnish the dish with points of toast and parsley.
