Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 eggs -- separated

1 tablespoon flour

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons butter

2 baking apples -- peeled, cored and sliced

4 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ginger

C & H powdered sugar

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, combine egg yolks, flour,

nutmeg, water and vanilla; beat well. In medium bowl, beat egg whites until

foamy; gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff but not dry.

Fold egg yolk mixture into whites. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in an 8 inch

oven proof omelette pan or skillet. Pour in egg mixture and spread evenly.

Cook over low heat about 4 minutes or omelette is barely browned. Bake at

350 degrees F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.

Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in skillet; add apples and saute about

4 minutes. Add brown sugar and continue over low heat until apples are

tender and glazed. Top omelette with glazed apples and sift powdered sugar

over top before serving. To serve, cut into wedges; serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings

 

HINTS: To save time, beat egg whites first and use the same beaters on mixer

to beat yolks. The apples may be prepared up to an hour before serving. The

omelette must be prepared and baked just before serving. For casual dining,

serve dessert in skillet. For more formal presentation, remove omelette from

skillet and place on serving plate, then to with glazed apples and powdered

sugar.
