Hangtown Fry image

An oyster omelet. Legend says a miner walked into the Cary Hotel in Hangtown during the California Gold Rush and demanded the most expensive dish. Eggs were over a dollar a piece and oyster were even more expensive, so this is what the chef came up with. Use jarred small Pacific oysters, drained and patted dry.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good. I would recommend using less salt next time.
