Omelette with Zucchini Tomato And Basil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 each shallots minced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms thinly sliced
- 1 each zucchini medium, julienned
- 1 each tomatoes medium, peeled, seeded, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 18 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons basil fresh, chopped
- 6 tablespoons parmesan, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated fresh, grated
- 12 large eggs or up to 18 (2 to 3 per person)
- 1 x salt to taste
- 1 x black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon soda water
- 6 tablespoons butter
- TO MAKE THE FILLING: In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted.
- Add the shallot and saute until soft; about 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and saute another 2 minutes.
- Add the zucchini and continue to saute for 2 minutes.
- Add the tomato and cook over high heat for 2 minutes to evaporate any excess liquid from the tomato.
- Add the salt, pepper, and basil and mix well.
- Taste for seasoning.
- Cover to keep warm.
- TO PREPARE EACH OMELETTE: Whisk 2 to 3 eggs with ta pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon club soda until smooth.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an 8-inch omelette pan or skillet over medium heat until it begins to sizzle.
- Pour in the egg mixture and stir it in the center of the pan with the flat side of a fork.
- With the prongs of the fork, lift the edges on the omelette so any uncooked mixture runs to the edge of the pan.
- Vigorously slide the pan back and forth over the heat until the omelette begins to slip around freely.
- When the omelette is lightly cooked but still creamy in the center, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling over the half of the omelette closer to the pan's handle.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the parmesan cheese over the filling.
- Quickly jerk the pan toward you with the handle so that the other half of the omelette flips over on top of the filling.
- Slide the folded omelette onto a serving dish.
- Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven while preparing the remaining omelettes.
- ADVANCE PREPARATION: The filling may be prepared 1 day in advance without the basil and refrigerated.
- Remove it from the refrigerator 1/2 hour before using, add the basil and gently reheat.
