-
okay, so the folded omelette, this is kind of a classic.
-
So, it's the omelette where we fold it over like that or the two sides into the middle,
-
you can choose whichever one you wanna do,
-
we don't wanna overcook the egg again,
-
we want it to be silky and golden yellow and delicate and gorgeous and oozy in the middle.
-
I'm going to flavor this with gorgeous mushrooms.
-
look at these, so we've got a mixture of farm and oyster and field mushrooms and enoki mushrooms the enokis are really cool,
-
you can get them in a lot of the supermarkets.
-
now, just crush, squash, slice or tear up the mushrooms,
-
kind of make it odds and ends and different shapes and sizes.
-
That's all cool, so some slices to squash and that is absolutely lovely.
-
So, there's your mushrooms, we're going to add just get a little bit of olive oil in a pan
-
as it gets hot, we're gonna go in with the mushrooms. Let it fry, it will start frying
-
and then start releasing moisture, we'll keep tossing and then that will moisture cook away,
-
and we'll get back to frying again, I just want to get one clove of garlic.
-
just take the skin off and we'll just finely slice that, what's really nice with the mushrooms
-
it's thyme or parsley or both really really nice, so I'm gonna put that in,
-
notice that I put the garlic in after the mushrooms.
-
if I'd put the garlic in with the oil in a hot pan,
-
it's just gonna overcook and go slightly bitter.
-
So, the mushrooms are kind of taking the sting out of the heat of the pan.
-
lovely little pinch of salt and pepper and if you had any dried chilli, that's really nice as well.
-
now, have a little look at this, you can see the moisture's just kind of come out of the mushrooms.
-
now, we're gonna carry on frying it.
-
A nice way to make it really rich and gorgeous is to put just a little knob of butter.
-
So in we go and something that I love with it is just a tiny squeeze, a tiny squeeze of lemon literally four drops
-
so see where that butter is, I'm just gonna squeeze four five drops little drops of lemon
-
it'll make all the difference.
-
let it just bubble up, right what we'll do is just take those off and
-
we just put them onto a plate now. By the way,
-
that technique of cooking these mushrooms is fantastic for risotto
-
for putting on steak for making a sauce with a splash of white wine and cream,
-
so that little technique's a very very good one.
-
so, in this pan now what I want to do is just get a little bit of kitchen paper.
-
I'm gonna wipe it out.
-
I want to turn it right down to medium low heat.
-
We gonna hit up three eggs, so I'm gonna have three eggs for this.
-
I'm gonna have a little pinch of salt and I'll give it a nice little beat with a fork .
-
So, notice I've taken that pan off the heat just a little drizzle of oil.
-
and in we go with the eggs just, say, use a spoon to lightly move this around see guys
-
I don't wanna have to overcook the base of the omelette.
-
just move it around delicately and then where you make a hole feel free to let it kind of fall in,
-
so look, as you move little gaps and you fill it with the egg.
-
there's a point where you can start moving it and not so much fills it.
-
at that point is when we go in with some gorgeous cheese, cheddars, Red Leicesters or anything equivalent that you feel contained.
-
absolutely gorgeous! I can have a pinch of pepper in here
-
and then we're gonna go in with our lovely mushrooms.
-
I'm going to just put it to one side like a half moon, so I want to take it off the heat now.
-
See the thing is guys eggs cook at such a low temperature that if it's cooked in the pan,
-
it's gonna be overcooked on the plate, so you kind of need to sort of just scale back your aim,
-
if you know what I mean, on cooking and just slightly under-cook it and then by the time you get it on the plate
-
it will be perfect so hopefully if I'm lucky it'll work so I'm just gonna pour it out onto a plate
-
and then as it gets over the lip we just fold in half like that so there you go guys
-
the humble and very simple half folded omelette it is a real classic very simple.
-
the key for me is not over cooking the egg you don't want the color.
-
so, let's get a knife and fork and cut in to that
-
so there you go what we're looking for we want it to be oozy in the middle.
-
we want the mushrooms to be beautifully cooked and we don't want the omelette overcooked.
-
it is delicious, oozy and moist on the inside very very important.
-
mushrooms cooked beautifully.
-
you know so delicate and soft here.
