HANGTOWN FRY
Legend has it that a 49'er hit a glory hole, an incredibly rich pocket of gold nuggets. He walked into the El Dorado Hotel restaurant in Hangtown, now Placerville California, and asked the waiter what was the most expensive item on the menu. The waiter answered that would be one of three things, oysters, which were tinned and shipped all the way from Boston, Bacon, which was scarce, and Eggs, which were also scarce. The prospector answered, fix them all on one plate and bring it to him. So was born the 'Hangtown Fry'. If you've never tried this delight, please do so. Elegance can be complicated but it can also be simple. In this case it's simple.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler with rack 8 inches from heat source. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm.
- Whisk together 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon cream, 1/2 teaspoon parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
- Combine flour and a pinch of salt and pepper. Dredge oysters in flour mixture, shake off excess, and transfer to a plate.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in an 8-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add half the oysters, and cook, flipping once, until golden, about 3 minutes total.
- Reduce heat to medium, and pour egg mixture over oysters in skillet. Cook until bottom is set, about 1 minute. Place skillet under broiler, and broil until top and center are just set, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Slide omelet onto a plate, and top with half the bacon. Serve immediately. Wipe out skillet, and repeat to make another omelet.

Steps:
- Put flour and ground saltine crackers in 2 separate small bowls and season flour with salt and pepper. Beat 1 egg with a fork in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pat oysters dry and coat, 1 at a time, in flour, then egg, then cracker crumbs, shaking off excess between each coating. Put coated oysters on a plate.
- Beat remaining 3 eggs with a fork for omelet. Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then fry oysters until golden, about 1 minute per side, transferring with tongs to paper towels to drain.
- Reduce heat to moderately low, then add eggs to skillet and cook, stirring gently, until half set, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange oysters over half of eggs opposite skillet handle, then continue to cook until eggs are just set, about 1 minute more. Fold omelet over oysters and invert onto a plate.
