For the Fines Herbes Sauce
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chives chopped
- 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon tarragon chopped
- 1 tablespoon shallots chopped
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 pinches of kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
For the Wild Mushrooms
- 2-3 ounce wild mushrooms or baby bella mushrooms cleaned and diced
- 1 tablespoon grass-fed organic butter or ghee
- 1 teaspoon flat leaf parsley finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
For the Omelette
- 4 large eggs whisked well in a bowl
- ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 pinch kosher salt
For the Mushrooms
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan. When the butter melts, add the mushrooms and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring.
When the mushrooms begin to lose their moisture, add a pinch of salt or two. Continue to cook until the moisture has evaporated and your mushrooms look tender and delicious.
Remove from the heat, add in the parsley, and set aside.
For the Omelette
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the butter. Swirl it in the pan until melted. When it starts to bubble, add the eggs.
Allow the eggs to set for about 30 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, lift one side of the set egg and angle the pan toward that side. Allow the raw egg to run under the spatula. Repeat around the omelette.
You're ready to roll when most of the egg has set, and the top is still a bit jiggly.
Putting together the Wild Mushroom Omelette Recipe
Slide the eggs out of the pan onto a plate.
Add the mushroom filling into the middle, and then fold the eggs around the mushrooms.
Add the fines herbes on top and around the plate.
Serve immediately. Happy eating!
