nwhile the sauce. Press the whole through a
fine sieve; add the nut meats, seasonings and yolks of eggs. Mix
thoroughly, and fold in the whites of eggs. Bake in a Criscoed dish
till firm in the center. Serve with mushroom or tomato sauce. This
may also be cooked in individual dishes. 25 minutes will be needed for
cooking in a large dish, about 12 minutes in individual dishes. It
is better to cook a souffle too long than too short a time always,
provided that the temperature be kept about 208 deg. F.
