Hot lobster

1 lobster,

2 oz. of butter,

grated nutmeg;
salt, pepper, and pounded mace, to taste;

bread crumbs, 2 eggs.

Pound the meat of the lobster to a smooth paste
with the butter and seasoning, and add a few bread
crumbs.

Beat the eggs, and make the whole mixture into the form
of a lobster;

pound the spawn, and sprinkle over it.

Bake 1/4 hour, and just before serving,

lay over it the tail and body shell, with the small claws
underneath, to resemble a lobster.
