Omelette Arnold Bennett

Posted for ZWT6 for Great Britain leg of tour. This late supper dish was created at the Savoy Hotel for the writer and critic who used to dine there after an evening at the theatre. It was elaborate but delicious, perhaps like Bennett's rich Victorian prose. This can easily be doubled to make a dish for 2.
