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?
Makes 2 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 whole eggs
- 3 egg whites
- 2 tbsp cream
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 medium potato, par-boiled, peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 oz assorted sliced mushrooms (baby bella, shiitake, oyster etc)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- pinch of salt & black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp truffle flavored oil
- 2 tsp chives, chopped
- assorted baby lettuce greens and herbs (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with 2 small cast iron skillets. Lightly grease the skillets.
- Heat a non-stick skillet on medium-high. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter, wait for butter to melt before adding thinly sliced potatoes. Cook each side for 1 minute or until lightly browned. Remove potatoes to drain on paper towels.
- In the same skillet with leftover fat, add sliced mushrooms. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, lightly whisk eggs with cream, 1 tsp chopped chives, salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Return potatoes into the same skillet as mushrooms. Drizzle in truffle flavored oil and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 1 minute.
- Divide egg batter between two skillets. Top it with truffled mushrooms and potatoes. Baked for 8 to 10 minutes or until eggs are puffed and golden on the edges.
- Serve it atop assorted baby lettuce greens and fresh herbs. Garnish with 1 tsp chopped chives.
Glad we could have a chat on omelette today. And for those who are celebrating — Happy Lunar New Year to you and your loved ones 🙂

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 🙂

I dont know that breakfast is my favourite meal, in fact I have never thought about which meal is my favourite. I do love an omlette though and I love that picture of the eggs

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