A very special omelet for a very special occasion...or make it a special occasion by serving this vermouth-laced strawberry filled omelet.

Strawberry 3-Egg Omelet

3 1/2 ounces fresh strawberries, washed, stemmed and sliced
1 tablespoon strawberry preserves
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 ounce sweet vermouth

Sour cream for accompaniment

Whole strawberries for garnish

1. Toss sliced strawberries with preserves and sugar to coat; set aside.
2. Heat an 8-inch omelet pan over medium high heat. Add butter or margarine, heating until bubbly. Pour in eggs; cook until set on the bottom but still moist, lifting edges gently with rubber spatula and rotating pan to let uncooked eggs run under. Spoon strawberry mixture over half of the eggs. Cook just until eggs fluff.
3. Remove from heat; sprinkle with vermouth. Fold in half to enclose filling; slide onto serving plate. Top with sour cream and whole strawberries if desired.

Makes 1 serving.
