Ham Omelet

Mince one ounce of ham very finely, and, if uncooked, fry it for a minute or two in a little butter. Break four eggs into a basin, beat them well, and stir in with them the minced ham and a quarter of a tea-spoonful of pepper. Pour two ounces of butter or lard into the frying-pan; when hot add the eggs, and stir quickly until the mixture sets. Shake the pan for a minute or two, to prevent burning, then double up the omelet, and when one side is brightly browned, turn it over on a hot dish, and serve Time, five minutes to fry the omelet. Probable cost, 7d. Sufficient for three persons.
