Description
This 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. Serves 1.

- cooked and flaked,
- Parmesan cheese -1 tbsp,
- freshly grated,
- Salt,
- Freshly ground black pepper,

2. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl with the water and salt and pepper.
3. Melt butter in an omelette pan, when the froth subsides, pour in the eggs.
4. Place fish and cheese on top of eggs just when they are beginning to set.
