Apple-Cranberry Omelette image

This is a wonderful breakfast for the day after Thanksgiving or any day when you want to use up leftover cranberry sauce (try it with Cranberry Sauce with Apple Cider recipe#78078 or any whole berry cranberry sauce). *The original recipe recommended lingonberries but suggested cranberries as a good alternative.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup cranberry sauce (whole berry, I used Cranberry Sauce with Apple Cider Cranberry Sauce With Apple Cider)
1 apple, peeled, cored and diced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
powdered sugar (optional)
whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400-degrees F.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, flour and salt together in a large measuring cup or bowl.
  • Melt butter (2 tablespoons) in a 12-inch skillet (that is oven safe- I used a cast iron skillet) over medium heat.
  • Add egg mixture and cook for 2-5 minutes, lifting edges to allow uncooked part to run underneath.
  • Put omlet in oven and bake until softly set (5 minutes). DO NOT OVERCOOK OR OMLET WILL BREAK WHEN FOLDED.
  • While omlet is cooking prepare filling by combining all of the filling ingredients (cranberry sauce- cardamom) in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Spoon 1/3 of the filling onto half of the omlet.
  • Slide omlet onto platter or serving dish, folding empty half over filled half.
  • Spoon additional filling around omlet (or serve on the side) and sprinkle with powder sugar.
  • Serve with whipped cream and additional filling if desired.
