Ingredients
- 7 to 8 medium strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 4 large eggs, beaten, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 11/2 teaspoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- For the strawberries: Toss together the strawberries, granulated sugar and vinegar in a small bowl. Allow the mixture to stand for 15 minutes. Strain before using.
- For the omelet: Whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, cream and salt until smooth in a medium bowl. Stir in the mint. Heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Add the egg mixture and cook until almost set, about 4 minutes. Spoon the strawberry mixture down the center of the omelet. Fold the edges of the omelet over the strawberries. Cook until the egg mixture has set, 3 to 4 minutes.
- For the whipped cream: Beat the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until the cream holds stiff peaks.
- Cut the omelet into slices and serve with whipped cream.

Sooo good I’m having this every weekend
This was great, perfect for New Year’s brunch. Really was like a crepe. I omitted the sugar from the eggs as I didn’t want it to sweet. Different and easy, what’s not to like.
This recipe is so surprisingly good. I am in love with these strawberries! I served dessert, then snuck away from my dinner party to eat more strawberries straight from the pan. Yum!
I substituted champagne vinegar, as I didn’t have any white wine vinegar, and I will permanently change the recipe. I didn’t bother making the topping, and I honestly don’t think the recipe needs it. It doesn’t make any sense that an omelet can be dessert, but Nonna Luna has converted me.

So good! Who would have ever thought it would be but it is almost like an eggy Swedish pancakes or something similar! Yum!
This recipe is awesome, especially when you are a gluten free eater. It reminded me of a sweet and savory crepe (minus the gluten. This a must try, don’t change a thing the combinations were perfect! This is at the top of our breakfast/brunch menu list from now on.
All I can say is WOW,,, this was fantastic. The only thing I changed was I used Splenda to sub for the sugar as I have to watch my carb intake. The strawberry paired with the mint was sinfully good. I will be making this whenever I am craving something heavenly.
Thanks Giada for sharing

Sunday my husband wanted pancakes, I saw Giada prepare this on Saturday. I Decided to try this as it looked delicious. On the show Giada’s Aunt Raffi said, it was the best thing they made that day. Easy, Fast and TO DIE FOR !!!! My husband loved this and wants me to make it again next weekend. Followed recipe exactly, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Our whole family really enjoyed this! We made if for brunch today – loved the mint and think I would add some lemon zest to the strawberries next time to freshen it up a bit. We did add the whipped cream – just a touch that melted over the omelet. My grandmother used to make me jam omelets as a young child. I loved the dressed up version. Lovely.
It was different and delicious! The combination of the fresh mint and strawberries, with a splash of vinegar was perfect. I served it with and without the whipped cream, both were equally scrumptious. This would work, as a breakfast entree, at a brunch, or even as a dessert. Definitely try this one!
