Fluffy omelette with pears, cranberries, blue cheese and thyme (What Should I Eat For Breakfast Today?)

This is a delicious combination of flavours. So delicious and maybe slightly unconventional that there, right there, for a slight second I thought that I’m pregnant again. But back to reality, I just have a strange craving, as for usual. Pears are sweet, but cranberries not necessarily, rather tiny bit sour, so it makes a perfect mix. When you add blue cheese, it’s like a dream come true. At least it was for me. I made this recipe by accident really. I was hungry and there were some ingredients leftovers in my kitchen. This is what I could make out of them. Lucky coincidence, one may say. Thanks to whipped egg whites the omelette is super fluffy. It made me think of these few days I spent in Salo not even 2 months ago. It was so sunny and beautiful. Where’s the sun now? Most probably in Australia, because definitely not here. So for now I’ll watch some pictures and eat a sunny omelette.

You will need (for 2 people):

3 eggs
2 tbsp flour
pinch of salt
2 tbsp coconut milk
1 tbsp blue cheese, cut in small pieces (or more if you like)

For fried fruits:

1 pear
1 cup cranberries
2 tbsp rice syrup or honey
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp thyme

Heat an oven to 175*C.

Cut pears in 8 pieces, do not peel, but cut out nests.

Heat a frying pan over a medium heat, add oil, pears, cranberries, rice syrup and thyme. Fry until pears and cranberries get soft. Cranberries will give pears a very nice colour Put on the side.

In a bowl, place egg whites and whip them until foamy. Then, using a wooden spoon, mix in flour, salt, yolks, milk and blue cheese.

Melt fat on an iron pan (1 tbsp of butter or coconut oil) and spread it around. Pour the fluffy egg mix into it, place pears and cranberries on top.

Bake for about 15 minutes, until nicely gold.
