Cue Up The Episode!

  1. Make sure to listen to Zuza Zak's, Author of Polska, episode, A Love Letter To Poland, while you make her Fluffy Omelette with Stewed Berries recipe!

Make The Stewed Berries

  1. Put the berries into a saucepan with the sugar and a tablespoon of water. Cover and cook on low heat until they have burst and released their juices. This should take about 10 minutes.

Make the Omelette

  1. In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form, then start adding the yolks, one by one, then spoon each tablespoon of flour in one at a time until it is fully incorporated.
  2. In a small frying pan or skillet, add half of the butter, and once it's hot, pour in half of the mixture to make one omelette. (If you have two frying pans, you can make both omelettes at the same time).
  3. Fry over a medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Some people grill (broil) the other side but if the omelette are quite small then you shouldn't have a problem flipping them over. Simply shake the pan and make sure that the omelette is moving before quickly flipping to soft side down.
  4. Top with the stewed berries, a dollop of  crème fraîche, and a drizzle of honey

Notes

  • Note 1: Substitution for crème fraîche: Initially I used whipped cream but the textures weren't compatible so then I tried sour cream and it was a perfect compliment to the omelette and the sweet berries and honey (or substitute with maple syrup)
