Omelette with Wild Mushrooms and Tupí Cheese
A rustic and flavorful omelette showcasing the earthy notes of wild mushrooms and the unique, pungent taste of Tupí cheese, a traditional Andorran cheese. This dish is a delightful representation of mountain cuisine.
🧂 Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Wild mushrooms(cleaned and sliced (e.g., porcini, chanterelles, or a mix))
- 50 g Tupí cheese(crumbled or grated (or a strong, aged goat cheese as a substitute))
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 small Shallot(finely minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley(chopped, for garnish)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- 2
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- 3
Add the sliced wild mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Remove the mushrooms and shallots from the skillet and set aside in a small bowl. Wipe the skillet clean if necessary.
- 5
Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked eggs.
- 6
Cook the eggs, gently pushing the cooked edges towards the center and tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly moist on top.
- 7
Spoon the mushroom and shallot mixture over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle the crumbled Tupí cheese over the mushrooms.
- 8
Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Cook for another minute or two, until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
- 9
Slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
