C&o Railroad Jelly Omelette

Submitted by SnowHat

"A recipe from the dining cars of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad from the 1950's "Use the jam or jelly of your choice!" ***Do not salt eggs before or during cooking. Salt can cause the eggs to become tough tough during cooking, so for best results salt eggs (if desired) only after cooking."

I am still not sure if I like jelly on my egg but my husband and little granddaughter did. It is a very different way to eat eggs. the recipe was very easy. We used grape jelly but I think I should have tried it with peach or strawberry. Thanks maiameow.
