salt. Roll the paste out to a thickness of about three-fourths of an inch, and cut it
round to the size of the dish on which it is to be served. Place the flat of paste on
a baking sheet, brush it over with beaten egg, and cut a circle through the middle
about one-fourth of an inch deep, leaving an edge about one inch wide all round.
Bake the paste in a moderate oven, and when cooked lift up the center. piece which
will have risen ; scoop out the uncooked paste, brush the inside with beaten egg, and
place it in an oven for five minutes longer. Prepare a filling of scalloped fillets of
soles, mussels, oysters and sliced mushrooms. Mix the cooking liquor of the mussels
with some lean veloute sauce, boil it until somewhat reduced, then thicken it with
the beaten yolks of two eggs. Mix the sauce with the garnishing, place the cover of
paste on, .stand it on the dish it was made to fit, and serve.
