4 eggs
3 tablespoons butter
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup rum

Make a regular omelet cooked in butter. Keep it soft and add a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Turn omelet onto a hot plate and sprinkle the top with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Pass under broiler to caramelize sugar.

Hat the rum, pour it over omelet and ignite. Spoon burning rum over omelet and when fire goes out, serve immediately.

Serves 2.
