Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick butter
18 eggs (3 per person)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon crushed white peppercorns
1 bunch chives, finely chopped
1 bunch chervil, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sea salt
Roasted mushrooms and watercress, as accompaniment, if desired
Roasted mushrooms and watercress, as accompaniment, if desired
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • To clarify the butter, put it in a small pot over low heat and slowly bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat until the butter separates. When the milk solids fall to the bottom and the golden butter- fat rises to the surface remove from heat. Set aside
  • Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and pour in cream. Add pepper and whisk until well incorporated and foamy.
  • Preheat the pan over medium heat. When the pan is heated, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of clarified butter. Turn the heat down slightly. Using a 4-ounce ladle, add 1 ladle of eggs into the pan. Using a spatula, start stirring quickly.
  • Once the eggs begin to set, stop stirring. Put the pan in the oven and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. When you remove the omelette from the oven it should still have a soft custard touch.
  • Sprinkle with chopped herbs, a pinch of sea salt and cracked white pepper.
  • Serve with roasted mushrooms and watercress.
