Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 ounces (50 g) fresh or canned black truffles, preferably Pébeyre*
8 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Accompaniments: mesclun salad with truffle vinaigrette country bread
Special Equipment
a Japanese Benriner or other adjustable-blade slicer

Steps:

  • Cut truffles into slices slightly less than 1/8 inch thick with slicer.
  • Whisk eggs in a bowl until foamy, then add truffles and gently stir until combined. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill 1 hour to allow eggs to absorb truffle flavor. Add salt and pepper.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over moderately low heat until foam subsides.
  • Stir egg mixture gently, then pour 1/2 cup egg mixture into skillet and cook, lifting up cooked egg around edge occasionally with a heatproof plastic spatula to let raw egg flow underneath, until omelet is set but top is still slightly moist, about 2 minutes. Fold omelet in half using spatula, then transfer to an ovenproof plate. Cover omelet loosely with foil, then transfer plate to oven to keep warm.
  • Make 3 more omelets in same manner, transferring to plate in oven as cooked.

I've been looking for a good black truffle omelet recipe for a while now, and this one is definitely the best I've tried. The truffle flavor is amazing and the eggs are cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of truffles, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The truffle flavor was not overpowering at all, and it actually complemented the eggs very well. I would definitely make this again.

This omelet was delicious! The truffle flavor was subtle but noticeable, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I served it with a side of roasted potatoes and it was the perfect meal.

I've made this omelet several times now and it's always a winner. The truffle oil really makes all the difference. I also like to add a bit of chopped chives or parsley for some extra flavor.
