Method
- Preheat grill to hot.

- Whisk egg whites until stiff. Gently fold yolks into whites.
- Melt butter over low heat, spoon in egg mixture and spread evenly over the pan with a spatula. Cook over moderate heat until the underside is set and golden.
- Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat the raspberry conserve with the kirsch or cherry syrup. Add the cherries, warm through then add raspberries.
