HAM OMELET (_A delicious Breakfast Dish_.)
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 4 oz butter
- 1/2 saltspoonful pepper
- 2 tablespoonful minced ham
Instructions
- Mince the ham very finely, without any fat, and fry it for 2 minutes in a little butter;
- then make the batter for the omelet, stir in the ham, and proceed as directed in recipe No. 1456.
- Do not add any salt to the batter, as the ham is usually sufficiently salt to impart a flavour to the omelet.
- 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.
- Serve very hot and quickly, without gravy.
