Jacques Pépin

Ingredients
6 Eggs
7 Mushrooms
1/2 stick Leek
100 g Ham
etwas Butter
Chives
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
  1. Gently fry the diced mushrooms and leek in a non-stick pan with butter and olive oil.
  2. While the vegetables are softening, whisk six eggs in a medium bowl.
  3. Season the vegetables and eggs generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Stir the diced ham and chopped chives into the eggs.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and use a silicone spatula to carefully push the edges towards the center while the omelette slowly sets.
  6. As soon as the eggs have reached the desired firmness, fold the omelette like a letter: Fold the two halves inwards until the edges meet.
  7. If necessary, add a knob of butter to the pan so that the bottom of the omelette browns slightly.
  8. Carefully turn the omelette out onto a plate.
  9. Cut the omelette into slices and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
