A Fine Receipt for a Savoury Omelette

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1.5 ounces butter
• finely minced herbs
• pepper
• salt

Instructions

1. Break four eggs and beat them thoroughly until they are thin enough to pass through a hair sieve, then continue beating until perfectly smooth and thin.
2. Heat butter in a small omelette frying-pan (about an ounce and a half) until it dissolves, then pour in the beaten egg.
3. As soon as the egg rises and becomes firm, slide the omelette onto a warm plate and fold it over. The omelette should only be fried on one side.
4. Sprinkle finely minced herbs, pepper, and salt over the unfried side. A salamander may be held over the unfried side to remove any remaining rawness.
