How to Make Truffle Omelette Omelette Aux Truffes

Thoroughly clean your truffle(s). If using fresh, thinly slice or grate approximately 15 grams. If using preserved truffles, drain well and reserve the oil. Gently poach the truffle slices in a small saucepan with 50ml of water, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper for 4-5 minutes.
Reduce the poaching liquid to about 1 tablespoon. Let it cool slightly, then stir it into 1 tablespoon of heavy cream.
In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large eggs lightly with a fork. Add the cooled truffle poaching liquid and cream mixture. Whisk gently to combine.
Heat a 6-8 inch non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt and become hot, but not browned.
Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. If using preserved truffles, add the sliced truffles now. If using fresh, add them once the eggs begin to set slightly around the edges.
As the omelette cooks, gently tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. When the top is almost set but still slightly runny (baveuse), gently fold the omelette in half with a spatula.
Immediately slide the omelette onto a plate and serve. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional). Serve immediately with a fresh green salad, warm crusty bread, and your favorite French red wine. Drizzle with reserved truffle oil (if using preserved truffles) for an extra decadent touch!
