Rinse the 100 g of split peas, put them in the saucepan and cover them with cold water (about 3 times their volume). Bring to a boil, then turn it down to low with the lid ajar and let them simmer 40 min.
Tip · Don't salt the water at the start, it can make the peas tough; only salt when you mash. At the end, check that the peas mash with no resistance, or give them a few more minutes.
Prep the mushrooms and garlic
Wipe the 200 g of mushrooms with a damp paper towel or cloth, then slice them. Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
Drain and mash the peas
When the peas are tender, drain them, saving a little cooking water. Put them back in the saucepan and mash them with a fork with the 5 cl of cream, salt and pepper, adding a splash of cooking water if it's too thick.
Keep the mash warm
Cover the saucepan with the lid and keep it off the heat while you make the omelet.
Sauté the mushrooms
Melt 5 g of butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and brown them 6 to 8 min, then add the garlic for the last 30 seconds, with salt and pepper.
Tip · Don't add too many mushrooms at once and don't stir them nonstop: let them brown so they release their water and turn golden instead of boiling.
Beat the eggs
Crack the 4 eggs into the mixing bowl, add salt and pepper, then beat them with a fork until smooth.
Cook the omelet
Add the remaining 5 g of butter to the skillet with the mushrooms, over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and let them set 2 to 3 min, pulling the edges toward the center with the spatula, until fully set.
Fold and serve
Fold the omelet in half and cut it into two portions. Plate it with the piping hot split pea mash.
And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.

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!
