Prepare the filling: Preheat
the grill to high. Tip the frozen fruits into a bowl with
the jam. Put in the microwave and defrost for 5-6 mins
until the fruits have thawed completely and are just warm.
You can also do this in a pan on the hob.

Make the omelette using a
frying pan without handles. Meanwhile, lightly beat the
egg yolks with the icing sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk
the whites until stiff. Carefully fold the whites into the
yolk mixture. Heat the butter in a frying pan and when it
is beginning to foam, pour in the egg mixture (make sure
the mixture covers the base of the pan). Cook over a
moderate heat for 3-4 minutes until the omelette is just
golden underneath; check with a palette knife. Slide the
pan under the grill and cook for a couple of minutes until
the top is golden.

Add the filling. Spoon the
fruits over one half of the omelette. Slide on to a plate
and fold over the other half. Cut in two, sprinkle with
the icing sugar and serve with pouring cream.
