Chocolate Omelette. From James Reeson Alive and Cooking. This is a memory one as my husband attempted something like this for the kids when I was away on a weekends mothers camp, but his was a disaster. From Debbwl's suggestion I have added strawberries to the recipe but of course you could add other fruit that is in season.

Whisk together the eggs, cream, melted chocolate, confectioner's sugar and a pinch of salt until well-blended. Don't worry if it looks streaky from the melted chocolate. Melt butter in a medium pan and pour in the egg mixture. You can have Chocolate Omelette using 9 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

An omelet doesn't necessarily have to be savory! I love sweet omelets and this fluffy chocolate omelet is so good! I served it with whipped cream and fresh fruit. It tastes amazing, is very fluffy and looks so pretty.
