    Title: Salsify Omelet
    Categories: Breakfast, Eggs, Vegetarian
    Yield: 1 Batch

    4 oz Salsify
    Vegetable stock
    White sauce;
    - very thick, small amount
    3 Eggs
    1 3/4 oz Butter
    Seasoning
    Bread crumbs; fried

    Prepare the salsify (freshly cut) in the usual way and cook it until
    tender in the stock, then drain thoroughly, cut it into 1" pieces,
    and put into a saucepan containing 1/4 oz butter seasoned with salt,
    pepper, cayenne, and lemon juice; cover it with the white sauce and
    keep it hot by the side of the stove until the omelet is made. To
    prepare the latter, break the eggs, which should be new laid, into a
    basin, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and whisk them well,
    then add 1/2 oz butter cut into tiny pieces. Melt one ounce of butter
    in an omelet pan of suitable size and, directly it is hot, pour in
    the eggs; draw the pan to the hottest part of the stove (the fire
    should be clear and brisk) and stir the mixture with a fork until it
    begins to set; then loosen it round the sides and thrust the fork
    through it in 2 or 3 places to prevent the omelet sticking and to
    allow the unset portion to come into contact with the hot pan; when
    it is almost set enough, spread the salsify over one half of the
    omelet and fold the other half over and carefully turn it on to a hot
    dish, surround it with fried bread crumbs (prepared in the same way
    as for game), and serve at once. The appearance of the omelet will be
    improved if the uppermost side is brushed over with warm butter and
    sprinkled with parsley.
