Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mince the ham very finely, without any fat, and fry it for 2 minutes in a little butter;
  2. then make the batter for the omelet, stir in the ham, and proceed as directed in recipe No. 1456.
  3. Do not add any salt to the batter, as the ham is usually sufficiently salt to impart a flavour to the omelet.
  4. Good lean bacon, or tongue, answers equally well for this dish; but they must also be slightly cooked previously to mixing them with the batter.
  5. Serve very hot and quickly, without gravy.
