Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the mushrooms

    Thinly slice the white mushrooms on the cutting board with the knife.

  2. Sauté the mushrooms

    Set the nonstick skillet over medium heat with half the butter (10 g). Add the mushrooms and sauté them 5 min, stirring with the wooden spoon, until they release their water.

  3. Cook the couscous

    In the saucepan, bring 300 ml of water to a boil. Pour in the fine couscous, turn the heat down and cook 5 min, stirring now and then with the wooden spoon. Season lightly with salt and set aside.

  4. Beat the eggs

    In a bowl, beat the 4 eggs with the fork. Add the chopped parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.

  5. Make the omelet

    Put the skillet back over medium heat with the rest of the butter (10 g). Pour in the beaten eggs and cook 2 min without touching. When the top starts to set, add the drained mushrooms and fold the omelet in half.

    Tip · For a really soft omelet, don't flip it all the way: just fold it in half while the top is still a little runny.
    Tip · For a bit more flavor, add a pinch of curry powder to the beaten eggs before pouring them into the skillet.

  6. Serve hot

    Divide the cooked couscous between two plates, set the omelet on top and serve right away.

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!
