Best 4 Black Truffle Omelets Recipes

BLACK TRUFFLE PORK AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pat pork shoulder with kitchen towels or paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season all sides evenly with truffle salt and white pepper.
• Heat olive oil and truffle oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork shoulder to the hot oil and brown thoroughly on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a plate.
• Lower heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons truffle butter in the Dutch oven. Add potatoes and season with truffle salt and white pepper. Saute until potatoes are golden brown but not cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
• Add onions, parsnips, and celery to the pot; cook until softened, adding more olive oil to prevent burning if necessary, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a medium bowl.
• Return heat to medium-high and pour in wine; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add pork back to the pot and surround it with browned potatoes. Add vegetable broth until liquid covers the potatoes.
• Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Flip the pork and bake an additional 45 minutes. Transfer 2 to 3 cups cooking juices to a bowl and set aside for sauce. Baste the pork in the pot with the remaining cooking juices. Add onion-mushroom mixture, cover, and bake until vegetables are tender and pork is done, 15 to 20 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons truffle butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk the reserved cooking juices into the flour mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve pork with vegetables, potatoes, and sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

BLACK TRUFFLE OMELETS

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.

TRUFFLE OMELETTE - OMELETTE AUX TRUFFES

Steps:

• Make sure your truffle is thoroughly clean, slice it thinly or grate it and poach it in a little water with the salt and pepper, for just four or five minutes.(For preserved truffles, no cleaning in needed, but they need to be drained.) Reduce the water to a dessertspoonful, allow it cool and add it to the cream.
• Whisk your eggs, add the poaching water and cream to them and whisk again.
• Heat your pan gently & add the butter to the pan, allow it become very hot, but not discoloured, then tip the eggs in & move them around a little until JUST starting to set on the outside. Then add the sliced truffles.
• Allow the top to almost set - baveuse - fold and serve immediately.
• Serve with a fresh green salad, some warm crusty bread and a good bottle of French red wine.

TRUFFLE OMELET

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add truffle, sour cream, and liquor, stir to combine; set aside and keep warm.
• Heat remaining 3 tablespoons butter in large skillet over low heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs.
• When the skillet is well heated, pour in eggs. Tip skillet to incorporate some runny parts with more cooked parts until there are some curds swimming in the eggs.
• Continue cooking, making sure eggs cover the entire surface of the skillet, using a spatula to push together any holes that may have formed.
• Pour truffle mixture over the center of the omelet. Run spatula along right side of omelet to loosen eggs from skillet. Place spatula under right side of eggs, making sure that the spatula is well underneath the eggs to offer maximum support, and lift right side over the filling in one fluid motion. Folded omelet should look like a half moon.
• Lightly press down on omelet with the spatula to seal omelet together. Do not press hard; you do not want to flatten the curds.
• Lift up skillet with one hand, and hold a plate with your other hand. Tilt skillet, and let the curved edge of the omelet slide onto the plate. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with baguette or croissants.
