Here's another sorrel recipe that I just came across.
Note the title:
This is an excerpt from *Ouverture de Cuisine*

To make May eggs. Take eggs, & put them to boil that they will be soft:
then make an hole in the egg at both sides with a point or skewer of
wood, that the hole is for putting a pea therein: then blow the yolks
out, & chop parsley very finely, & mix it with the egg yolks, a little
salt & pepper therein, & put again an egg yolk or two, or more, & refill
the eggs with the point of a knife thereon, that it will be layered
thereon with a little white bread, that it does not run at all: then
have a cauldron of boiling water, & cast the eggs therein, & let them
boil hard, afterwards take them out & peel, & cut them in half, & put
thereon melted butter & juice of sorrel.
