CREAMED TUNA FISH

Combining canned tuna fish with a cream sauce and serving it over toast makes a dish that is both delicate and palatable one that will prove very satisfactory when something to take the place of meat in a light meal is desired.

3 Tb. butter
3 Tb. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. paprika
1-1/2 c. hot milk
1-1/2 c. tuna fish
1 egg

Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, salt,
pepper, and paprika. Stir well, pour in the milk, and
when this has thickened add the tuna fish. Allow this
to heat thoroughly in the sauce. Just before serving,
add the slightly beaten egg and cook until this has
thickened.

Pour over toast and serve. Sufficient to Serve Six.
