For you young ones, the actor, Paul Fix played the part of Marshal Micah Torrance in "The Rifleman" from 1958 to 1963, and also performed in numerous western films with legends like his friend JOHN WAYNE, who also enjoyed this recipe.
Micah's Country Eggs
1 TB. butter
3/4 to 1 cup light cream or half and half
4 eggs
2 TB. crushed cornflakes (optional)
4 slices hot, buttered sourdough toast
salt and pepper to taste
Paprika
Melt butter in a skillet. Add cream and heat until just bubbling. Break eggs carefully into a small dish and then slip them into the hot milk. Cook over low heat until the whites are firm around the edges. Sprinkle with cornflakes. Cover and cook to desired doneness. Arrange eggs on the toast with the cream, which should have thickened somewhat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. This is great served with sausage. Makes 4 servings.
