Ingredients




4 eggs
1/2 cup milk or cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Pinch salt

2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 350F. 2 Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks with the milk, flour, salt and sugar. Beat the whites until stiff but not dry. 3 Put the butter into a large ovenproof skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat. When it melts, gently fold  the egg whites into the yolk mixture. Pour into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, then transfer to the oven. 4 Bake until puffy and browned on top, 10 to 20 minutes.

About


From Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian."  About this recipe he says, "The sweet omlet isn't something we see often, but really does make sense in the way pancakes, crepes, and other desserty breakfasts do. Plus, think of all the egg-based desserts, like custards and flans. Serve hot or at room temperature, sprinkled with confectioner's sugar and a selection of marmalade, jam, jelly or Macerated Fruit and whipped cream, creme fraiche, or yogurt."
