Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Difficulty:
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2 ml truffle oil
- 100 g mushrooms, sliced
- ½ tsp thyme
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- salt
- pepper
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
- fresh parsley to garnish
Preparation:
- In a bowl, add the eggs, truffle oil, salt and pepper, and beat until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan, on medium to high heat.
- Put the mushrooms and thyme in the pan and sauté until golden brown.
- As soon as the mushrooms are golden brown, remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, put the butter and the egg mixture, and lower the heat.
- Do not stir the omelette. Use a spoon or a silicone spatula to push the side of the omelette towards the centre, so that the liquid egg covers the bottom of the pan.
- Let the omelette cook for 2-3 minutes, making sure it doesn’t get dry, until the bottom sets and the top remains runny.
- Grate the parmesan on top. Slide the omelette towards the front part of the pan and, using a wooden spoon, fold it and place it on a plate.
- Serve right way with the mushrooms on top, a little olive oil, and fresh parsley.
