Ingredients

Units: US Metric
  • 2 ounces of stale bread (one large slice)
  • 1 gill of boiling water
  • 1 gill of cold milk
  • 1 level teaspoonful of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoonful of butter
Make it lactose-friendly

Swaps are suggestions, not medical advice. Check labels if lactose is a serious issue for you.

Steps

  1. Have the bread free from crust. Pour the boiling water over it. When soft, add the salt and milk, and break up with a spoon. Beat the yolks and whites of the eggs separately, and stir into the bread mixture. Put the butter in a frying-pan of good size, and set on the fire. When hot, turn in the omelet, and cook until it begins to set; drawing it back a little, as you would a plain omelet. Fold, and brown slightly. Turn out on a hot dish, and serve at once.
