Low Carbohydrate Desserts Recipes - Fruit-Filled Soufflé Omelet Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 3

• 75g/3oz/3/4 cup strawberries, hulled

• 3 eggs, separated

• 45ml/3 tbsp double (heavy) cream, whipped

• a few drops of vanilla essence (extract)

• 25g/1oz/2 tbsp butter

---

Method:

1. Hull the strawberries and cut them in half. Set aside. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy, then fold in the cream and vanilla essence.

2. Whisk the egg whites in a very large, grease-free bowl until stiff, then carefully fold into the yolks.

3. Melt the butter in an omelet pan. When sizzling, pour in the egg mixture and cook until set underneath, shaking  occasionally. Spoon on the strawberries and, tilting the pan, slide the omelet so that it folds over.

4. Carefully slide the omelet on to a warm serving plate. Cut the omelet into three pieces, then transfer to three warmed plates and serve immediately.

VARIATION : Use any type of soft, non-starchy fruit in place of the strawberries. Slices of peach, fresh berries or a combination of several fruits will all work well.
