1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter
3 eggs, with the yolks and whites separated
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream
powdered sugar for final decoration

Preheat oven to 375?F.

Hull strawberries and cut into halves (or quarters if the strawberries are
very large). Sprinkle with one tablespoon of sugar and allow to macerate for
10 minutes.

Heat butter in an ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until
foam starts to dissipate. (I used a ten-inch skillet.)

Beat egg whites until foamy. While continuing to beat, sprinkle one
tablespoon of sugar into egg whites, then sprinkle in the cream of tartar.
Beat until soft peaks form, and a bit beyond that, but not to the point
where stiff peaks form.

Beat egg yolks until they turn lemon-colored. Stir in vanilla extract and
heavy cream until combined.

Gently fold egg yolk mixture into egg whites. Pour egg mixture into pan and
cook until puffed, 3-4 minutes. Put pan into oven and cook another 3-4
minutes, depending
on how well-done you like your eggs. Turn out and fold onto heated plate.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and arrange strawberries around omelet on
plate.

That was brunch yesterday. Lin took pictures which will be posted on
Facebook because Sheldon can eat a bag of shit.

It always amazes me to meet people who have never had a souffle omelet.
It's such a great instant dessert. I even make certain jams just for this
purpose.... which is usually how I dress mine.

This sounds really good. I happen to have a lot of eggs and some
strawberries right now. Maybe I'll make it this weekend.

Eggs and fruit together, as in mixed together? Somehow, it just
doesn't sound good to me. My mind keeps saying, "BACON, not
berries!" LOL.

So a strawberry souffl? would hold no charms for you? Or meringues with
fruit such as Eton Mess or Pavlova?

I was going to ask if Bob's recipe was a breakfast or a desert. [I've
had plenty of deserts for breakfast- and vice versa, just wondering]

I've never had a sweet souffle. I like the idea, and I just might
try it this weekend--- but it isn't anything I've ever heard of
before.

A meringue is different.[though I've never noticed an Eton Mess or
Pavlova on a menu] Odd how my mind thinks that if there is a yolk
or two involved, it should be a custard, not a souffle.
