Chocolate Omelette
"From James Reeson Alive and Cooking. This is a memory one as my husband attempted something like this for the kids when I was away on a weekends mothers camp, but his was a disaster. From Debbwl's suggestion I have added strawberries to the recipe but of course you could add other fruit that is in season."

It was a lark of a thought that made me look for an chocolate omelette . . . and lo and behold . . . it was here. I slightly singed the chocolate on the bottom and the top . . . will use less heat both ways next time . . . added dried cranberries when I put it under the broiler . . . whew . . . it was good. Will be doing this one more and more as I'm on a heavy protein diet . . . cant do much with bread . . . and eggs just kind of get to be old hat. This will add some diversity to the menu. Thanks for posting. -
Very good for breakfast or even dessert! I used Hershey Special Dark cocoa powder and put blueberry preserves inside the omelet (raspberry would be good too)...the hot oozing fruit balanced the chocolate. Step #3 didn't work for me. The chocolate chips started burning before melting and the broiler changed the texture of the omelet. Next time I would put the chocolate chips inside the omelet or just put chocolate sauce on the top. Also I will probably reduce the number of yolks to make it lighter, more like a crepe. Yum! -
What a lovely simple decadent brekky treat. I made one omelette using Alpen Blend Drinking Chocolate and then sprinkled with cinnamon chips as I didn't have any choc chips, once melted I topped with the optional strawbs..mmmm delish..Thanks for posting! -
This is definitely something different, but it does give us chocoholics a new & interesting vehicle for our needed fix! I didn't have fresh strawberries but did have some beautiful blackberries that I used & that made a nice flavor combo! Thanks for a wonderful new keeper!

Felt adventures this morning and decided to try something unique and different. This sweet treat fit the bill. Have never heard of a chocolate omelet and it sound interesting. Made as written. Was egg-y and sweet with a distinct chocolate flavor. This a four and half star recipe. The only reason we went down instead of up with the stars is because DH and I both agreed it need a little something to help balance it. We both also agreed that missing something was fresh sliced strawberries and a garnish of fresh mint leaf. Over all very good so please don't be afraid to go outside the box and try a chocolate omelet. Think this would make a nice Valentines Day breakfast. Thanks so much for the post.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
