Break eggs into 4 separate spaces, far enough apart sothey will not run into each other. Put dashes of hot pepper sauce and worcestershire in center of each egg yolk. Spoon ketchup over yolks.
Pour in cream. Sprinkle remaining cheese over 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. Origin: Women's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery, Volume 1, Delaware Section.
