Make n circle of the ham and onions nnd place Un scrambled eggs in the center, garnish ing with parsley. Another variation is to sprenu rounu ( croutons with n layer of sweet red pepper cooked, then the scrambled I eggs, then a sprlngling of trollies. All scrambled eggs must be served at once j and must not be tough. Banana Croquettes. Feel six bananas, cut n slice from each cud. then cut Into crosswise sec tions.
