STRAWBERRY OMELET

3/4 cup strawberries, hulled and halved

1 tablespoon Kirsch or Grand Marnier

1 tablespoon sugar

Dash salt

8 eggs or 4 eggs and 6 whites, well beaten

2 tablespoons butter (less if using nonstick pan)

Whole strawberries

Soak halved strawberries in Kirsch and 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1 hour.

Beat salt and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar into eggs. Heat butter in skillet. When melted, swirl pan to distribute butter evenly, then pour in eggs.

Cook over low heat until bottom is set, but top is still slightly liquid. Distribute halved strawberries evenly in strip down center of omelet. Using spatula, fold bottom edge up to enclose filling. Continue cooking over medium heat until bottom has browned, and center is set.

Invert large serving plate over pan, and flip omelet onto it. Slice into 4 equal portions and garnish with whole strawberries. Makes 4 servings.
