Soft Herb and Mushroom Omelet

A quick omelet with hearty cremini mushrooms and fresh tarragon. Eggs are loaded with protein, vitamins, and minerals like biotin for anti-aging benefits. Mushrooms are low in calories and high in B vitamins.

From The Young Forever Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp grass-fed unsalted butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3 large pasture-raised organic eggs
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat an 8-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and sweat, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the garlic and continue cooking for 3 minutes, until they take on color. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, tarragon, salt, and pepper. In the same pan used for the mushrooms, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Add the eggs, tilting the pan to evenly distribute them. Cook, using a spatula to gently scrape the eggs toward the center and tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to run underneath, for a few minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and scatter the mushrooms on one side of the omelet. As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom but still slightly runny on top, gently jerk the pan towards you to loosen the eggs. Use your spatula to carefully fold the bare half of the omelet over the mushrooms. Tilt the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
