Ingredients
  

  • 3 whole Eggs
  • 1.5 tablespoons Creme Fraiche
  • 4 ounces Chestnut Mushrooms cleaned and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • 1.5 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 dash Salt
  • 1 dash Pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley minced
  • 0.25 cup Shredded Cheese
  • 1 dash Hot Sauce your favorite (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the creme fraiche until well mixed and creamy. This will give your omelette that luxurious texture.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chestnut mushrooms along with the water. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, just until they start to wilt, but don’t let them get too soft. You want that perfect tender bite!
  3. Next, add in the butter. As it melts, it will start to sauté the mushrooms further, enhancing their flavor and giving them a slight golden hue.
  4. Once the mushrooms are tender, reduce the heat to medium. Pour in the egg and creme fraiche mixture. Use a spatula to gently scramble the eggs, ensuring they cook slowly. This step is crucial for a silky, light omelette.
  5. Continue to cook the omelette until the eggs are just set, keeping an eye on the texture to ensure they remain soft and fluffy.
  6. When the eggs are almost cooked to your liking, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. This will melt beautifully into the omelette.
  7. Season with a dash of salt and freshly ground pepper for that extra flavor boost.
  8. Finally, sprinkle minced parsley over the top and drizzle with your favorite hot sauce, if desired.
  9. Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate. You can fold it over or serve it flat; the choice is yours!
  10. Enjoy your creation immediately, savoring every rich and earthy bite!
