Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Beat a dozen eggs well and fry in butter, lifting with two forks so the omelet cooks evenly.
  2. When half-cooked, remove part of the center without piercing it, forming a hollow.
  3. Make a butter sauce: whisk a tablespoon of flour into a little roast drippings, then add half a glass of white wine and the juice of one lemon.
  4. Simmer the mushrooms, cut into small pieces, in the sauce.
  5. Lift out the cooked mushrooms with a slotted spoon and fill the omelet; fold it over itself to cover the filling.
  6. Turn it to finish cooking and serve drizzled with the mushroom sauce.
