Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Prep the mushrooms

    Wipe the 380 g of mushrooms with a damp paper towel, trim off the dirty stem ends, then slice them thin.

  2. Cut the ham

    Cut the 190 g of cooked ham into small cubes or strips.

  3. Wash the salad

    Wash the 190 g of salad greens, spin them dry and divide them between the two plates.

  4. Sauté the mushrooms

    Heat 10 g of butter with the olive oil in the skillet over high heat, then add the mushrooms. Brown them 6 minutes, stirring, and season with a pinch of salt.

    Tip · Don't stir the mushrooms for the first 2 minutes and only salt them at the end: they release their water and then brown instead of boiling.
  5. Add the ham

    Add the ham to the mushrooms and heat it for 1 minute. Tip everything into a bowl and wipe out the skillet.

  6. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 4 eggs into the mixing bowl, add pepper and beat them with a fork. Stir in the mushrooms and ham.

  7. Cook the omelet

    Melt the remaining 10 g of butter in the skillet over medium heat, then pour in the mixture. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, pulling the edges toward the center, until the egg is fully set.

    Tip · The omelet should be fully set, with no runny egg. If the top is still loose, cover the skillet for 1 minute over low heat.
  8. Fold and serve

    Fold the omelet in half, cut it into two pieces and set each piece on the salad.

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!
