Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 5 grams black truffle
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives
Instructions
Gently clean the black truffle with a soft brush to remove any dirt, then finely grate or slice it thinly and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and lightly beat them with a whisk or fork until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to maintain the omelette's delicate texture.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and whisk gently to incorporate.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the pan evenly.
Once the butter begins to foam but not brown, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula, bringing the edges toward the center to ensure even cooking.
When the omelette is softly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the grated or sliced black truffle evenly over the surface.
Fold the omelette carefully in half using the spatula, or roll it gently if you prefer the French style. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to one minute, ensuring the truffle flavor infuses into the eggs.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and garnish with finely chopped chives for a fresh, aromatic finish.
Serve immediately to enjoy the rich aroma and flavor of the black truffle.
