This is a nice breakfast for any day of the week. Or serve for dinner with homefries, roasted tomatoes and toast.

• Ready In: 17 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 3  eggs
• 2  teaspoons butter
• 1  medium shallot, minced
• 2  ounces mushrooms, brushed of dirt and cut in 1/4 inch slices or 2  ounces fresh chives, minced
• 1  tablespoon fresh thyme, minced
•  coarse  salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1  tablespoon mascarpone or 1  tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Directions

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of cold water, and beat with a fork until you can't see white from yellow.
2. Set aside.
3. In a small frying pan, over medium-high heat, cook the shallots in half the butter until soft, add the mushrooms all at once and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are half wilted.
4. Add the herbs and mascarpone with salt and pepper and cook until the cream has melted.
5. Remove from the heat.
6. In a medium, non-stick frying pan, heat the remaining butter, over medium-high heat.
7. Pour in the eggs, and with a rubber spatula draw the egg mixture across the pan in one direction and then in the other.
8. You should have a mound of fluffy eggs in the middle of the pan.
9. Let the remaining egg mixture sit and cook for half a minute, then, with the rubber spatula, lift the edges of the omelette around so that the remaining liquid slides underneath.
10. When all the eggs are lightly cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
11. With your wrist facing the ceiling, slide half the omelette onto a heated plate, cover this with the mushroom mixture, then, fold over the other half of the omelette.
