Bananas in savoury dishes were unusual for many; the book includes them as a filling in an omelette.

1
Fry the bananas
Lightly brown the butter and fry the banana slices for a few minutes. Season with pepper and salt.
2
Make batter
Whisk the eggs, cream, salt and pepper together.
3
Cook the omelette
Melt the other 30 g butter in the pan, pour in the batter and stir gently with a fork. Cook over high heat. When the batter begins to set, shake the pan gently so the omelette starts to form.
4
Fill and serve
Place the fried banana slices with their butter in the middle. Fold one edge over and serve at once on a warm dish.

Quantities are unchanged. The eggs and cream are whisked together because of the word «røren» (the batter). The method is split into four steps.
