SWEET MINI OMELETS WITH CHEESE
Makes 20 mini omelets.
4 eggs
¼ tsp. salt
2½ cups milk
¼ cup butter, melted 2 cups flour, sifted Canola oil for frying
Cheese filling:
1 container 5% or 9% white cheese
spread
1 container (250 gr.) 30% cream cheese 3 Tbsp. sugar 2 Tbsp. honey or silan
½ cup raisins
A pinch of lemon or orange zest
2 Tbsp. instant vanilla pudding powder
(optional)
Topping:
½ cup powdered sugar
Serving suggestions:
Cut-up fruit, ice cream, whipped cream, maple syrup, honey or silan
To prepare the mini omelets, add the eggs, salt, milk and butter to a medium bowl and whisk by hand until mixed well.
Pour the flour into a large bowl, and slowly add the egg mixture, while whisking. The batter should be watery. If it’s too thick, add another ¼ cup milk or water.
Heat a little oil in a 20-cm. frying pan over a low flame. Pour off any excess oil into a small bowl to use later.
Using a ladle, pour a bit of the mixture onto the middle of a frying pan. Shake the pan gently so that the mixture spreads out in a thin layer over the entire pan. Cook for 2 minutes until the omelet firms up and the edges begin to rise up. Then, flip it over and fry on the other side for a few seconds.
To prepare the cheese filling, combine all of the ingredients in a separate bowl. Spread 1 or 2 spoonfuls of cheese mixture over the cooked omelet, then roll it up tightly.
Alternatively, add the filling, then fold the omelet in half.
