This is to render them digestible. When cool, remove the shells, cut into halves crosswise, and take out the yolks without breaking the whites. Keep the whites of the same egg together as they will fit better. Rub the yolks to a cream with a little melted butter; add a little made mustard or sauce from the chow- chow bottle, a little chopped pickle or olives and salt and paprika to taste. Fill the mixture into the whites placing them together to form a whole egg and fasten with wooden toothpicks.
