Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Prep the veggies

    Peel the carrots and cut them into small dice. Cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the mushrooms and roughly chop the walnuts.

  2. Cook the carrots and broccoli

    Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil, drop in the carrots and broccoli and cook them 5 min, then drain them well in the colander.

    Tip · Drain the veggies really well, or the water they hold seeps into the omelet and keeps it from setting.
  3. Sear the mushrooms

    Melt half of the butter in the skillet over high heat, add the mushrooms and brown them 4 min. Add the drained carrots and broccoli, salt, pepper, stir 1 min, then tip everything onto a plate.

  4. Beat the eggs

    In the mixing bowl, beat the 2 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the cream cheese in small pieces and stir without trying to make it totally smooth.

  5. Cook the omelet

    Wipe out the skillet, melt the rest of the butter over medium heat and pour in the eggs. Let them set 2 min, pulling the edges toward the center, then cover 1 min over low heat so the top fully sets.

    Tip · Keep the heat medium to low, or the omelet browns too fast outside and stays runny in the center. It should be fully set, with no soft bits.
  6. Fill and fold

    Spread all the cooked veggies over one half of the omelet, then fold the other half over. Leave it 1 min over low heat.

  7. Plate with the lamb's lettuce

    Cut the omelet in half and set each portion on a plate. Add the lamb's lettuce on the side and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. An omelet is best soft, fresh out of the pan: reheated, it turns rubbery. Make it the day you eat it, it's done in 5 minutes!
