A forest walk provided our first late summer chanterelles. As I brushed each one with my clean paintbrush, kept in a drawer for such occasions, I pondered on what to cook and decided on this omelette. Yes that would do nicely so here is my version for two.

Instructions
  1. Separate 6 eggs, placing the egg whites in the larger of 2 bowls. Melt 75g butter in a frying pan and when sizzling add the prepared chanterelles, tearing any larger ones in half for an even cooking time.
  2. Whisk egg whites first until the foam holds its shape. Then whisk the yolks along with a generous seasoning of Blackthorn salt, milled pepper and a small handful of torn fresh marjoram/oregano.
  3. When chanterelles are cooked, remove from pan with a draining spoon, leaving the butter in the pan. Add a wee drizzle of Summer Harvest rapeseed oil to the butter. Fold egg whites and yolks together, along with some chopped cooked chanterelles, and turn into the piping hot frying pan. A shoogle will ensure the mixture is level in the pan.
  4. Allow 3-4 minutes until the base is completely set before easing the edges in readiness to turn. By slipping the mix onto a plate and inverting when returning to the pan you can brown the other side. Alternatively place under the grill to brown the top.
  5. When set, scatter with remaining chanterelles, flip over half and slide onto a plate to share. Simply wonderful.
