Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Clean the mushrooms

    Wipe the 390 g of mushrooms with a damp paper towel or cloth, then slice them.

  2. Wash the salad

    Wash the 290 g of salad greens, spin them dry and keep them cool in the mixing bowl.

  3. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 6 eggs into another container or a shallow bowl, add a pinch of salt and some pepper, then beat them with a fork.

  4. Brown the mushrooms

    Heat the skillet over medium-high heat with half the olive oil, so 1/2 tbsp. Add the mushrooms, salt, pepper and sauté them until the liquid cooks off and they turn golden.

    Tip · Don't salt too early and don't pile up the mushrooms. Leave them in the skillet without stirring too much so they brown instead of boiling.
  5. Pour in the eggs

    Turn the heat down to low and pour all the beaten eggs over the mushrooms at once. Cook 3 to 4 min, pulling the edges toward the center with the spatula, until the top is almost set.

  6. Fold and cover

    Fold the omelet in half and cover for 1 min so the egg is fully set in the middle. Then cut it into two portions.

  7. Dress the salad

    In the mixing bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar, the other half of the olive oil (1/2 tbsp), salt and pepper. Add the greens and toss right before serving.

    Tip · Dress the salad at the last second, or it goes limp.
  8. Plate it up

    Serve one piece of omelet per plate with the salad on the side.

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!
