Celestine Omelet

Pound six macaroons, put them in a bowl, adding three tablespoonfuls of apple jelly and one tablespoonful of whipped cream, and mix it well with a spatula. Make a sweet omelet with twelve eggs, fold over the side opposite the pan, pour the mixture into the center, fold the other side over and turn the omelet out onto a hot dish. Sprinkle the top with three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, glaze the omelet, and decorate it with some ladyfingers cut into halves, also a teacupful of whipped cream.
