Mushroom and Herb Omelette
Ingredients
- 14 oz hedgehog fungus or chanterelles see method
- 2 shallots or 1/2 mild onion finely chopped
- 1 oz butter
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp chopped summer savory leaves
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 6 very fresh eggs
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper
garnish with:
- sprigs of summer savory
serve with:
- tomato salad
Instructions
- If you cannot obtain chanterelles, cultivated mushrooms will be a perfectly acceptable substitute for this omelette. Heat the butter and oil in a very wide, preferably non stick frying pan and cook the shallot over a very low heat until soft, stirring frequently.
- Turn up the heat, add the mushrooms and saute for about 6 minutes or until they are tender and most of the moisture they release when cooked has evaporated. Just before they are done, season with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground pepper and stir in the herbs.
- Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper; beat in the Parmesan cheese, for which you can substitute another finely grated hard cheese if wished, provided it is not too strong.
- Pour this mixture into the frying pan, tipping it this way and that to ensure that the mixture spreads out evenly all over the bottom.
- Run a palette knife round the edges and tip the uncooked, runny egg towards the sides; fold over before sliding out of the pan. Serve at once.
