Crunchy Parmesan Omelette

When you want a new twist on an omelette, try Chef John’s omelette because it is inside-out. The cheese is on the outside which forms a thin crunchy layer, yet the inside stays moist.

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup mushrooms (Chanterelles)

  • Splash of heavy cream

  • ¼ cup high quality Parmesan Regianno – freshly grated

  • 1 grass-fed egg

  • Olive oil

  • Mushrooms or salmon dip (optional fillings)

Directions:

  • Dry sautee the mushrooms (Chanterelles will release water), then set aside.

  • Whisk the egg with chopsticks (to aerate well) and add heavy cream, then set aside.

  • Lightly brush a pan with olive oil and turn on medium heat.

  • Cover the entire pan with a generous amount of grated Parmesan.

  • After the Parmesan bubbles and starts to turn golden brown, turn heat to low.

  • Pour the eggs and mushrooms on top of the Parmesan.

  • Add fillings if desired.

  • When the egg is firm but the top is slightly wet, fold twice to form the omelette.
