Ingredients
2/3 oz. truffles + 1 oz. truffle skin (or use forest mushrooms instead), 16 eggs, 1 small baguette loaf for the breadcrumbs, 2 garlic cloves, 1 1/4 cups Xeres vinegar, peanut oil, 1 curly endive, pepper, salt
Preparation Instructions
Prepare the curly endive and the vinaigrette with the Xeres vinegar and peanut oil. Stir well and place the salad with the vinaigrette on the serving dish and set aside. Place the breadcrumbs into garlic to flavor them. Break the eggs in a mixing bowl. 4 eggs are sufficient for one person. Add the truffle skin and some salt. Lightly beat the eggs until foamy. Heat the pan with some oil and butter. Allow it to brown slightly. The omelet must cook very fast. A chef’s trick: Hit the pan lightly with the palm of your hand, thus, making the omelet not stick to the pan. Place the truffle on the omelet and serve.

Truffle Omelette

This is a classic recipe, extremely simple and perfect for supper on the day you manage to buy – or find – your first fresh truffle. Truffles have a pungent aroma that permeates the eggs beautifully, even through the shells. Therefore if you plan to make omelets, store your truffle with your eggs; even a few hours of this treatment will make a difference to the flavour of the finished dish. Make sure your eggs are fresh and treat them lightly, don’t beat them into submission, just a gentle whisk with a fork will do.

Eggs are a rich source of nutrition. Read more on http://www.buzzle.com/articles/eggs-nutrition-facts.html. To maintain the freshness of the eggs it is wise to refrigerate them as they are perishable. It is immaterial to argue on the topic of which came first – the chicken or egg? But it is definite that both came before evolution of mankind. Whatever may be the answer enjoy eggs to gain its nutritional benefits and to stay healthy. An egg is really three separate foods, the whole egg, the white, and the yolk, each with its own distinct nutritional profile. A whole egg is a high-fat, high-cholesterol, high-quality protein food packaged in a high-calcium shell that can be grounded and added to any recipe. The proteins in eggs, with sufficient amounts of all the essential amino acids, are 99 percent digestible, the standard by which all other proteins are judged. The most nutritious way to server egg is with extra whites and fewer yolks to lower the fat and cholesterol per serving. Those on controlled-fat, low-cholesterol diet or low-protein diet should exclude this food. Eggs are the ideal nutritive food for the ill and convalescent patients. Those who suffer from gastrointestinal tract disorders, particularly in diseases of the colon eggs are the best food because of their nutritional value and lack of residue.

Perfect for breakfast! :D I love the idea of placing the bread crumbs into the garlic. I could use this style to every recipe for breakfast. I used beater to make the egg a little fluffier (I know it is not necessary. I just wanted to try it.). Truffle and omelette is really good. Enjoy!

I think omelets should be cooked easy and this is really hard to do… I have a hard time making this recipe.

This recipe is so delicious when used with mushrooms instead of truffles. I served this for my children and boom! After 20 minutes, they’re done eating their breakfast and their plates are as clean as a whistle (my favorite idiom). I was a bit surprised when they enjoyed mushrooms instead of truffles because I and my husband love the one with truffles. So every morning I prepare two kinds of omelets, the one with truffles for us and the one with mushrooms for our children. Thanks chef!.

A breakfast craze! I’ve thought of this as a usual omelet but the way we made a fuss about it on our breakfast table proved me so…wrong! My kids even requested it for their lunch and was still talking about it 'til dinner! Haha!

A truffle omelet? I never had an idea there’s such a food. And a thirty minute prepared one? Finely interesting…I won’t need to think of what’s for breakfast.

I just love the smell of eggs and mushrooms in the morning. Although the description says this recipe is good for supper, I can’t help but cook it for breakfast. The reason is because it is so simple to make, you won’t have to miss a healthy breakfast anymore with this recipe.

I always keep on thinking of my kid’s unique omelet breakfast. My two little daughters love to eat omelet every day. So I carry on experimenting new variations of omelet, until one day I came up with this recipe which serves as a huge help for me. And now I can prepare them fresh, simple, totally different and luscious omelet recipe!
