List of Ingredients
3 eggs
2 tablespoons prepared chocolate syrup (like Hersheys)
Butter for omelet pan
4 slices (rectangles or half circles) mild white cheese, such as Provolone, divided*
Approximately 6 medium sized strawberries, thinly sliced and divided*
Approximately 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Whipping cream for garnish*
More chocolate syrup or fruit sauce for drizzle
Color garnish: such as fresh strawberries, raspberries, maraschino cherry
Break eggs into a medium mixing bowl, then add the chocolate syrup and 1 teaspoon water. Whisk together until well mixed.
Over medium heat, heat your omelet pan (preferably non-stick). Just as you are ready to cook the omelet, place 1-2 teaspoons butter into the pan; allow to melt and swirl to coat the surface of the omelet pan. Butter should be bubbly, but don't allow to burn. When butter is ready, pour approximately half of the egg mixture into the pan (about 1/3 cup of the mixture, depending upon the size of the pan). Using a non-metal spatula, simultaneously tilt the pan to one side and lift the cooked eggs up so that the liquid egg can flow under the cooked egg and cook quickly; do this around the entire circumference of the egg/pan. When no more egg flows and the top is almost cooked but still moist (you may need to reduce heat), cover one side of the omelet with half the cheese, half the strawberry slices, and half the chocolate chips. Reduce heat to very low. Fold omelet in half over the fillings. Allow to sit for a moment over low heat to allow the cheese and chips to melt. Tilt pan and allow omelet to slide out on plate. Make the other omelet.
Allow to cool a few minutes before garnishing. Garnish with whip cream piped onto the top of the omelet (heart shape?). Add color with another strawberry, mint leaf, raspberry, etc. Drizzle with chocolate sauce or fruit sauce. Serve and enjoy with your lover.
Notes: Cream cheese or another mild white cheese (Brie?) can be substituted for the Provolone. Nuts can be added for the filling or as a topping garnish. You might try this with M & Ms in the filling. Other fruit (raspberries?) could be substituted for the strawberries. Fresh whipped whipping cream is best, but you can substitute the canned (aerosol) variety used for ice cream sundaes or Cool Whip.
