Cooking Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Chanterelle and Dill Omelette:
Prepare the Mushrooms:
Clean the chanterelle mushrooms thoroughly by brushing off any dirt. If necessary, rinse briefly and dry well with kitchen paper.
Sauté the Onions and Mushrooms:
In a large skillet, melt 10 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
Add the cleaned and sliced chanterelles to the skillet. Cook until tender and any liquid has evaporated (approximately 5–7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
Beat the Eggs:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, you can add a splash of milk or cream for a creamier texture.
Combine Ingredients:
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over the sautéed mushrooms and onions.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill evenly over the egg mixture.
Cook the Omelette:
Allow the omelette to cook undisturbed on medium-low heat until the edges start to set (about 5–7 minutes). For a runnier center, cook for less time; for a firmer omelette, cook longer.
If using cheese, sprinkle it over one half of the omelette before folding.
Fold and Serve:
Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula.
Slide it onto a plate and serve hot.
