Preparation time: 5-10 minutes Cooking time: 25 minutes Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 3 British Lion eggs, separated
  • 120g caster sugar
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and cut into 1cm cubes
  • 1 punnet blackberries
  • Pinch ground cinnamon
  • 25g unsalted butter
  • 50ml Calvados
  • Icing sugar to dust

 

Method

  1. Place the yolks and whites in separate bowls and add 50g of sugar to each. Add the vanilla seeds to the yolks and whisk for 3 min until creamy. Whisk the whites until the mixture holds itself (soft peaks).
  2. Gently combine the yolks and whites using a spatula.
  3. Add half the butter to a hot pan, then add the apples and cinnamon. Cook for 3 min, add the remaining sugar and Calvados. Cook for 5 mins then add the blackberries and cook for a further 5 minutes. Keep warm in the pan.
  4. Add the remaining butter to a hot frying pan, pour in the soufflé mix and place in the oven at 180ºC for 10 min or until golden. Scatter the apples and blackberries on the omelette, or make a hole in the omelette for the fruit and berries. Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately in the pan.
