Omelette aux Confitures, or Jam Omelette

INGREDIENTS for dish for 4 or 5 persons.-6 eggs, 3 oz. of butter, 3 tablespoonfuls of apricot, strawberry, or any jam that may be preferred. AVERAGE COST, 1s.

Make an omelette, only, instead of doubling it over, leave it flat in the pan.

When quite firm and nicely brown on one side, turn it carefully on to a hot dish, spread over the middle of it the jam, and fold the omelette over on each side; sprinkle sifted sugar over, and serve very quickly.

A pretty dish of small omelettes may be made by dividing the batter into 3 or 4 portions, and frying them separately; they should then be spread each one with a different kind of preserve, and the omelettes rolled over. Always sprinkle sweet omelettes with sifted sugar before being sent to table.

TIME.-4 to 6 minutes.

SEASONABLE at any time.

Omelette Soufflé. - INGREDIENTS for omelette for 4 persons.-6 eggs, 5 oz. of pounded sugar, flavouring of vanilla, orange-flower water, or lemon-rind, 3 oz. of butter, 1 dessertspoonful of rice-flour. AVER- AGE COST, 1s.

Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs, add to the former the sugar, the rice-flour, and either of the above flavourings that may be preferred, and stir these ingredients well together. Whip the whites of the eggs, mix them lightly with the batter and put the butter into a small frying-pan. As soon as it begins to bubble pour the batter into it, and set the pan over a bright but gentle fire; and when the omelette is set, turn the edges over, to make it an oval shape, and slip it on to a silver dish, which has been previously well buttered. Put it in the oven, and bake from 12 to 15 minutes; sprinkle finelypowdered sugar over the soufflé, and serve it immediately.

TIME. About 4 minutes in the pan; to bake, from 12 to 15 minutes.

SEASONABLE at any time.
