A sweet fluffy omelet with rhubarb compote: whisked until airy and served with a slightly sweet and sour rhubarb compote. A dessert or lunch which only can be eaten in spring (and you don't want to miss it).
Today, the recipe has become a sweet fluffy omelet with rhubarb compote. Why? Because it's a seasonal recipe (the eggs and rhubarb are from my garden). I found this recipe in a book called "Rijntjes keukengeheimen" and adapted it. A delicious lunch dish or dessert, also for children, that looks great through the colorful compote of rhubarb. And it tastes delicious too.
💭 Top tips
- Thickening the compote makes the taste softer.
- By beating the egg yolk and the egg white separately, you get an omelette that is even fluffier than your usual one.
Substitutes
- Replace the potato starch with cornstarch.
