Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Clean and slice the mushrooms

    Wipe the 250 g of mushrooms with a damp dish towel or give them a quick rinse, then slice them.

  2. Brown the mushrooms

    Heat the olive oil in the skillet over high heat and cook the mushrooms 6 minutes until golden, with a pinch of salt and pepper. Move them to a plate, then wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.

    Tip · Don't stir the mushrooms for the first 2 minutes and only salt them at the end, or they release their water and boil instead of browning.

  3. Wash and dry the salad

    Rinse the 200 g of green salad, then dry it in a colander or a dish towel and keep it in the fridge.

  4. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 6 eggs into the mixing bowl, add salt and pepper and beat with a fork until smooth.

  5. Cook the omelet

    Melt 15 g of butter (half of it) in the skillet over medium-high heat, pour in the eggs and stir 30 seconds with the spatula. Let it set 1 minute, pulling the edges toward the center: the top should stay soft.

    Tip · Pull the skillet off the heat while the top is still a bit glossy, since the heat keeps cooking the omelet on the plate.

  6. Fill and fold

    Spread the mushrooms over one half of the omelet and fold the other half over. Cut in half and slide each portion onto a plate.

  7. Serve with the salad

    Add the salad next to each omelet 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!
