Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 1 to 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon crushed black peppercorns
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 thick slices peppered bacon, cooked until crisp
1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
3 slices Monterey Jack
Fresh chervil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and pour in the cream. Add the chives, tarragon, salt and pepper and whisk until well incorporated and foamy.
  • Preheat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and turn the heat down slightly. With a 4-ounce ladle, add one ladle of eggs to the pan. Immediately begin stirring with a spatula. (Cook's note: This is to heat the eggs through so they set like a custard. Keep swirling them around so the eggs aren't in one spot long enough to burn.)
  • Once the eggs begin to set, stop stirring. Transfer the pan to the oven for 1 1/2 minutes; the omelette should still have a soft custard touch
  • Top the omelette with the bacon, avocado and Monterey Jack. Return it to the oven for 30 seconds, just so the cheese begins to melt. Using an oven mitt to grip the handle, tip the pan sideways and roll the omelette onto a plate with the help of a spatula. Garnish with more chives and tarragon, and chervil.

Categories     Omelets

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup fiddleheads
2 slices bacon
6 eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons butter
2 slices Gruyere cheese
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Carefully wash each fiddlehead, remove all of the brown papery cover, and trim the ends.
  • Add an inch of water to the bottom of a steamer basket and heat on high until the water is boiling. Place fiddleheads into the top of the steamer basket and cover with a lid. Steam for 10 minutes. Fill a medium bowl with ice chips and water and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon bits into a small nonstick skillet and add 2 teaspoons water. Cook on medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Plunge the steamed fiddleheads into the icy water to stop the cooking progress. Remove after 5 minutes and pat dry.
  • Break eggs into a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add milk and 1 tablespoon water; whisk until smooth.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in 1/2 the egg mixture let partially set. Lift 1 section of the omelette with a spatula and tilt skillet, allowing liquid egg to run underneath. Add 1/2 the bacon and fiddleheads to the lower section and carefully fold the uncovered section over the bottom. Add 1 slice Gruyere cheese; let melt, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the other half of the ingredients.

Tips:

  • Make sure the fiddleheads are well-cleaned and trimmed before cooking. If you're using fresh fiddleheads, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and refresh in cold water.
  • Don't overcook the fiddleheads. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch to them.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to cook the omelette. This will help prevent it from sticking and tearing.
  • Cook the omelette over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly and prevent the eggs from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet with ingredients. This will make it difficult to cook the omelette evenly.
  • Fold the omelette in half or into thirds before serving. This will make it easier to eat.

Conclusion:

The fiddlehead and bacon omelette is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy fiddleheads, give this omelette a try.
