Pea Omelet with Mint and Mascarpone

Makes 1 omelet
Servings: 0

Ingredients

  • * 2 large egg yolks preferably organic and free-range
  • * 1 whole egg preferably organic and free-range
  • * 1 tablespoon mascarpone cheese
  • * 2 teaspoons organic butter
  • * 1/3 cup defrosted organic frozen peas I used Woodstock Farms "petite" peas; you could also use freshly shelled spring peas
  • * 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint plus more for a garnish, if desired
  • * course sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • 1. Combine the eggs and the mascaropone cheese with a fork. The mascarpone will not blend completely- this is fine.
  • 2. Heat a skillet, preferably one that is cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Add butter. As it melts, use a spoon or metal spatula to move it around and make sure the entire surface of the pan is coated with the butter.
  • 3. Add the egg/mascarpone mixture. Tilt the pan (in several directions, if needed) so that the eggs coat the entire surface.
  • 4. Cook over medium-high heat until the egg in the center of the pan starts to solidify and the edges look slightly brown/done.
  • 5. Add the chopped mint and the peas to one half of the omelet. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper, and allow to cook for about 20-30 seconds.
  • 6. Loosen the opposite side of the omelet from the pan with a spatula, and fold the plain half over the filled half. Continue cooking for another 10 – 20 seconds, and then fold it again, if desired.
  • 7. Remove to a serving plate and garnish with additional chopped herbs and more salt and pepper, if you like.
