The lesson on eggs furnishes one of the best opportunities to teach the
muscle-building foods. If eggs are scarce, it may be well to give this
lesson at some other time. Each pupil should be asked to bring an egg;
one or two should bring a little milk; and sufficient bread should be
provided to toast for the poached eggs. The teacher should not undertake
to give too many recipes in this lesson, but should try to make the
pupils familiar with a sufficient variety of ways of using eggs to make
egg cookery interesting. The necessity of having a moderate temperature
for the cooking of eggs should be emphasized.
