STRAWBERRIES AND SOUR CREAM OMELET

SERVES 1 or 2

The first time I made this for my mother, she was thrilled. She always loved a Pennsylvania Dutch heavy omelet, which is linked below, and topped it with ketchup or apple butter. Since the omelet has a texture similar to a crepe, I decided it would work well with a stuffing and rolled. It's easier to handle than crepes and more forgiving than a traditional omelet. Serve for breakfast or as a dessert. This recipe can be made in any amount.

• Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 1 cup)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (or to taste, depending on sweetness of strawberries)
• 2 large or extra large eggs
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 to 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, depending on desired texture
• Butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sour cream (can use reduced fat)
• Confectioner's sugar for garnish
• 2 whole strawberries for garnish

Place the sliced strawberries in a small bowl. Sprinkle with the sugar. Let set for about 30 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved and has made some juices.

Meanwhile, make the omelet. In a small bowl, mix together the eggs and water. Add the flour and mix very well with whisk. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add just enough butter to coat bottom. When butter starts to sizzle, pour in the egg mixture. As eggs start to set on bottom, use a spatula and gently push to the center to allow the uncooked eggs to get to the bottom. Do not break apart. Cook until bottom is lightly browned and top is almost set. Add salt and pepper to taste. Flip the omelet. Continute to cook until done and bottom is lightly browned. When done, spoon some sour cream and strawberries down the center; roll up the omelet. (If preferred, the cream and berries can be spooned onto one half of the omelet and then folded in half.) Place on a serving plate. Dust lightly with confectioner's sugar. Top with a dollop of sour cream. Place a whole strawberry on top. Serve immediately.

Note: If serving two people, make one omelet, fill and roll, then cut in half, place on individual plates and garnish.
