remain liquid. Sprinkle one half of cheese over butter. Break eggs into 4

dashes of hot pepper sauce and worcestershire in center of each egg yolk.

eggs. Bake in moderate oven (350F) until eggs are set. Serve each egg on a
slice of buttered toast and spoon the pan sauces over it. Makes 4 servings.
