Walnut Grove Recipes Mushroom & Brie Omelette
	Ingredients Makes 1 3 eggs 3 large mushrooms 2 thin slices of brie knob of butter 1 tbs cooking oil salt & pepper
Method 1 . Slice the mushrooms thinly, melt butter in a frying pan & cook mushrooms. Remove from pan & keep in a warm place. 2. Using a non-stick omelette pan put it on the largest burner and get it smoking hot. Crack the eggs into a small bowl & whisk, add seasoning. Add the oil to the pan then pour the whisked eggs into the pan.
3. Hold the pan in one hand and push it backward & forwards over the heat. With your other hand, using a fork move the egg around in circles, using the back of the fork. 4. When the consistency is like wet scrambled egg spread the egg over the bottom of the pan evenly (the cooking time so far should be only about 30 seconds). Add the mushrooms and brie down the middle of the egg, (you have to work quickly or the egg will overcook). Fold one third of the egg onto the middle, pick the pan up and flip the whole thing onto the plate. 5. Brush with melted butter and serve.
