Truffled Mushroom & Potato Skillet Omelette

Hi friends!

Omelette’s are pretty much the easiest and satisfying meal to prepare while recovering from a nasty jet-lag. Boring or regular omelette’s aside, the idea of combining a gourmet selection of mushrooms spikes my enthusiasm.

There’s no secret that I’m easily amused. Even by mushrooms.

Aside from amusement by ingredients, let’s just say breakfast is my favorite time of the day. Which brings us to the next topic: sharing food. Without a doubt, I’m quite generous when it comes to “food sharing”. But don’t expect that to happen during breakfast.

I can’t even bring myself to imagine sharing this omelette with anyone. Sorry. You’d just have to rustle one up for yourself.

And then tell me all about it. Oh, and please don’t share. Else, REGRET would be the word of the day. You wouldn’t want that, huh?

  • 2 tbsp cream

  7. Serve it atop assorted baby lettuce greens and fresh herbs. Garnish with 1 tsp chopped chives.

This looks so hearty and delicious!! I have a bottle of truffle oil in my pantry that I rarely use. And I’m not sure why! I need to break it out more often 🙂

Mmh, this looks exactly like my kind of breakfast or light lunch!
Don’t blame you at all that you don’t want to share this, especially not in the morning 🙂

Truffle oil makes things so flavorful and amazing. That is an great breakfast.

14 Daniela @ FoodrecipesHQ February 3, 2014 at 6:23 AM

So you baked the omelette. I have tried making this way just once, it was great! I always wake up too hungry to wait for the oven to do its job. Good cooking is also about patience!

Omelettes are such a joy to make. They do take a little skill. But just enough to make you feel like you are really “cooking”. GREG

Hi Kiran!
I haven’t visited in a while but I’m back now! This looks lovely, and so easy and comforting – jetlag is the worst. That shot with the eggs and flower is just stunning 🙂

Every time I go to produce markets one of my favourite things is to see all the different types of mushrooms – the only thing I love more are tomatoes 🙂

And in omelettes they are just divine. And such a great way to start the day.
