- Add the maple syrup and cook until the leeks are well coated in the maple syrup. Set aside.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the cream and season generously.
- Melt 15 ml (1 tablespoon) butter in a large pan, pour in half the egg mixture and cook over low heat.
- When the omelette is almost done, put half the leek mixture, 60 g (2 oz) of chopped prosciutto and 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of basil onto half of the omelette, fold in half and cool to your preferred doneness.
- Follow these steps for the 2nd omelette.
