Omelette vallée d'Auge

Omelette vallée d'Auge is a traditional French dish originating from Normandy. Unlike most omelets, this version is sweet, creamy, and garnished with apples. The dish consists of eggs, sugar, cream, butter, apples, and Calvados. The apples are peeled, cut into cubes, then browned in butter and sugar until they caramelize.
The pan is then taken off the heat, and cream is mixed in. The eggs are whisked and mixed with powdered sugar, then cooked in butter over medium heat. Once done, the omelet is garnished with the apples, the edges are folded over, and it's then sprinkled with icing sugar.
Coupétado
Coupétado is a traditional French bread pudding originating from Lozère. It's usually made with a combination of prunes, raisins, day-old bread, eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. A baking dish is layered with prunes and raisins, the fruit is topped with bread slices, and the bread slices are topped with a mixture of whisked eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla.
The dessert is pressed down with a fork so that the bread is completely soaked in liquid. It is baked until the pudding puffs up and becomes nicely browned. Coupétado can be served for breakfast, as a dessert after a big meal, or as a sweet afternoon treat. Read More…
