Chanterelle Omelets With Fines Herbes Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

 
2 1/2 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 cups chives, snipped into 1/2-inch lengths
1 cup chervil leaves
1/2 cup tarragon leaves
3/4 cup water
Salt
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 small shallot, minced
1/4 pound chanterelles, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon creme fratche
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 large eggs, at room temperature

How to make Chanterelle Omelets With Fines Herbes Sauce

1. Preheat the oven to 250°. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Add the parsley, chives, chervil and tarragon to the boiling water and cook for 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the herbs to the ice water to cool completely. Transfer the herbs to a kitchen towel and wring dry, then transfer to a blender and add the 1/2 cup of water. Blend at high speed until pureed. Season the herb sauce with salt.
2. In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the minced shallot and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the chanterelles, season with salt and cook, stirring, until tender, 8 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the creme fraiche and keep warm.
3. In a 6- or 8-inch nonstick, ovenproof skillet, melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in the oil over moderate heat. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with a pinch of salt until the egg foams. Add the egg to the skillet and cook over low heat until it starts to set, about 10 seconds. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the egg is just set, about 1 minute. Slide the egg onto a plate and spread a rounded tablespoon of chanterelles down the center. Fold both sides of the omelet over the mushrooms and roll the omelet over. Spoon a little herb sauce alongside. Repeat to make 3 more omelets.
