Recipe - Hoppel Poppel

One half cup Leftover lean pork
3 lg Eggs
4 tablespoon Unsalted butter
One fourth cup Chopped white onions
2/3 cup Diced leftover peeled
potatoes
1 tablespoon Heavy cream
One half teaspoon Chopped fresh dill
One fourth teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
2 Sprigs dill

1. Remove the pork and eggs from the refrigerator approximately 45 minutes
before proceeding to the next steps.

2. Melt the butter in a medium sized or large skillet over low to moderate
heat. Add the onions and saute them for about 1 minute, stirring
constantly.

3. Add the potatoes and saute for about 3 minutes. Stir frequently.

4. Add the pork and saute for about 3 minutes. Stir frequently.

5. Break the eggs in a bowl and add to them the cream, chopped dill, salt,
and pepper. Beat this mixture as you would for a standard omelet.

6. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes, meat, and onions in the
skillet. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook the
preparation for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs have set.

7. Slide the 'Hoppel Poppel' onto a warm plate of the same size. Securely
hold the plates together and quickly but carefully invert them so that the
more attractive browned side of the 'Hoppel Poppel' is face up.

8. Garnish the 'Hoppel Poppel' with the dill sprigs. Cut it at the table
into pizza style wedges. Serve immediately.

Serves 2.
