1 c soft bread crumbs
1/2 c butter
1 tsp pimento
1 tsp onion juice (finely minced onion with water used)

  • 3. Cooked spaghetti is called for, so if you have leftover spaghetti great, otherwise cook a small portion.
  • 4. Scald one cup milk.
  • 5. Mix together cooked spaghetti, bread, butter and cheese. Pour hot milk over this and add pimento, onion juice and slightly beaten egg yolks. Fold in carefully beaten egg whites and bake in moderate oven 45 minutes.
