Directions
Starve the snails and clean them well. Cook them for 1 hour in boiling water with added salt, fennel and a fig leaf; drain and remove them from their shells.
Prepare an omelette mixture. Beat the egg yolks and fold in the stiffly beaten whites. Make an omelette in the usual way and fill with the snails.
