Mushroom Omelet
By MCFM Vendors
Ingredients
- 2-3 ounces fresh mushrooms from Northwood Mushrooms, tough stems removed and caps chopped
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, bacon fat or olive oil, separated
- 2 eggs from Sunshine Harvest Farm
- 1 Tablespoon sheeps milk from Shepherd’s Way Farm
- 2 teaspoons chives or other herbs, plus more to garnish
- 1/4 cup market cheese, grated
Instructions
Heat 1 Tablespoon butter or other fat on medium-low heat in a medium sized non-stick frying pan. Saute mushrooms in butter until soft and slightly browned. If mushrooms look dry, add more butter or a splash of water to the pan. Set aside.
Whisk together milk, chopped herbs and eggs. Heat the same non-stick pan on medium heat and add 1/2 Tablespoon of butter. When hot, pour egg mixture into the pan so that the mixture extends to the edges of the pan. Top one half of egg mixture with cheese. Add sauted mushrooms and herbs.
When egg is cooked through, fold omelet in half and serve. Garnish with more cheese and herbs if you like.
