  • 3 cups cooked chicken, cut in cubes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 6 medium mushrooms

  • Few grains Cayenne pepper
  • 2 egg yolks, beaten with a little cream

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan; add to mushrooms and cook slowly for 2 minutes; add shallots, simmer for a few minutes; stir in the flour and simmer 2 or 3 more minutes; add the cream and stir continuously while cooking for 5 minutes (be patient, you rascal). Add the chicken, pepper and salt, cook another 5 minutes (be patient, you rascal). Before serving, add egg yolks and cream slowly, then remove from fire. Be careful not to boil after the yolks are added; add chives and lemon juice. Serve toast on the side as an accompaniment. Serves 3.
