Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Prep the veggies

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into small 1 cm cubes. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp towel, slice them and wash the salad.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Put the cubes in the saucepan, cover with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Let them simmer until tender at the tip of a knife, then drain.

  3. Brown the mushrooms

    Heat the olive oil in the skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper, and sauté them until the liquid cooks off and they're golden, then tip them into a bowl.

    Tip · Don't stir the mushrooms for the first 2 minutes and only salt them at the end if you want them nice and golden: salt makes them release water.
  4. Brown the potatoes

    Put the skillet back over medium heat with half the butter (10 g). Brown the drained potatoes, then add them to the mushrooms in the bowl.

  5. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 6 eggs into a clean mixing bowl, add the crème fraîche, salt and pepper. Beat with a fork until smooth.

  6. Cook the omelet

    Melt the rest of the butter (10 g) in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs, spread the mushrooms and potatoes over them, then let it cook, pulling the edges toward the center with the spatula.

    Tip · Turn the heat down if the bottom browns too fast, and cover the skillet for 1 minute so the top sets without flipping the omelet.
  7. Fold and serve

    When the bottom is golden and the top fully set, fold the omelet in half and cut it into two pieces. Serve with the green salad on the plates.

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!
