Author Notes
I learned about sweet omelets from a friend of mine who was living in Finland and told me about eating omelets with jam. I thought it sounded super weird, but finally decided to give it a try, after realizing it wasn't all that different from a souffle or a popover. I still find it a little weird, but in a way I like. It's an easy and yummy breakfast. —fiveandspice

Ingredients
-
2/3 cup
(about) mixed frozen berries (or fresh if it's the season)
-
1/2 tablespoon
honey or sugar
-
2
large eggs
-
2 teaspoons
plus a pinch of sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
-
1/2 tablespoon
butter
-
A little cream or crème fraîche for finishing, optional
Directions
-
To make your filling/sauce, combine the berries and the 1/2 tablespoon honey (or sugar) in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil. Turn down the heat to low and simmer, covered, until saucy, about 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, separate one of the eggs, putting the white in its own bowl. Combine the yolk with the other whole egg in a smallish bowl. Add a pinch of sugar to the egg white and whisk it until it holds soft peaks.
-
Whisk the 2 teaspoons of sugar and the vanilla into the egg plus yolk mixture until fully combined. Gently fold the whipped white into the other egg mixture.
-
In an 8-inch nonstick frying pan, heat the butter over medium to medium-low heat until it has melted and started to foam. Pour in the eggs. Cook, without disturbing until the eggs are quite set and about 3/4s of the way cooked through. Then, gently use a spatula to flip the omelet. Let it cook another minute. Top with a spoonful or two of the berry mixture (or jam, if you prefer) and fold the omelet over the filling. Transfer to a plate and top with more berries plus a drizzle/dollop of heavy cream or crème fraiche, if desired.
