- 1/8 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 teaspoon Brandy
- 1/2 cup Huckleberry compote (or other fruit compote) (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/4 cup Rum (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1In a bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks well. Gently fold the egg yolks into the egg whites. Add a pinch of salt and the brandy.
- 2Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook quickly, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly. Cook until the edges are set but the center is still slightly moist (about 2-3 minutes).
