Tomato Omelet

Ingredients
8 eggs
1/2 t Salt
2T Pepper
1/4 C cold milk
1 T butter
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

Beat 8 fresh eggs into a bowl, season with 1/2 t salt and 2 T pepper, adding one half gill* cold milk and beat the whole thoroughly for two minutes. Place in large frying pan 1 T clarified butter, and heat well without browning, when butter crackles pour in quarter pint of finely chopped fresh cooked tomatoes, drain off all their liquor mix slightly cook for five minutes, then drop in the beaten eggs over the tomatoes and with a fork gently mix for three minutes. Let stand 1 1/2 minutes. Fold up the two opposite sides carefully turn into a hot dish and serve.

*In case you have no idea what a gill is, I didn't either. it's 1/4 a pint, so half gill would be 1/8 a pint, or 1/4 C
