A sweet version of an omelet is possible and it’s an idea that comes from the Great French Chef Pierre Gagnaire. I did change the recipe and instead of using canned peaches and fresh strawberries, I used raspberries ;-) and the result was good, tasteful and above all very original ;-)
In two words:
“Thoughts are strengthened by counsel, and war must be conducted with caution”
To Start...
difficulty – easy
preparation– 5’
cooking - 3’-5’ (for the raspberries jam) + 3’ (for the omelet)
serves - 1
To Sum-up...
Ingredients
- 100gr of raspberries
- 1 + ½ teaspoons of caster sugar
- 1 + ½ teaspoons of water
- 15gr of butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon of rapadura or brown sugar
- some raspberries and a little bit of confectioner’s sugar for decorating
Steps
- Wash and drain the raspberries
- Keep aside some of the raspberries for decorating
- Place the rest of the raspberries into a small sauce pan along with the caster sugar and the water
- Heat-up into a boil and then low heat
- Let it simmer for about 3’ until there is no more water
- Place the jam into a bowl in order to cool it down
- Beat the eggs into an omelet
- Heat-up a pan
- Add the butter
- Once it’s hot, add the omelet and low down the heat
- Once the top of the omelet becomes almost solid, sprinkle the rapadura sugar (or the brown sugar) on top
- Once the sugar has melted, turn the omelet upside down to caramelize the bottom
- Place the omelet into a place and spread all over the top the raspberries jam
- Sprinkle on top the fresh raspberries and a little bit of confectioner’s sugar
- Prêt, très bon et surtout très original !
