Simmer approximately 10 to 12 minutes, adding marga- rine. In large casserole bowl, put dumplings and juices. Slice eggs and toss lightly into dumplings. (Be sure this is not too stiff; if needed hot water may be added.) Salt and pepper to taste. Last, mix top crust, roll out and put over top of the casserole. Dab top with butter or margarine.
