Method
1. Melt 20g of butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes or until they're just tender. Add the garlic, tarragon, parsley and lemon rind to the mushrooms. Cook them for 1 minute or until they're nice and fragrant. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Wipe the pan clean.
2. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and melt half of the remaining butter in a pan over medium-high heat until it's hot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add half of the egg, tilting the pan so the egg covers the base.
3. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the egg is set and the underside is golden.
4. Sprinkle half of the ricotta over half of the omelette. Using a slotted spoon, spoon half the mushroom mixture over the ricotta. Season with salt and pepper and fold the omelette over all the filling. Slide the omelette onto a plate and repeat with remaining ingredients.
5. Dig in!
Tip: Do you have extra vege in your fridge that needs to be eaten? Or dont have mushrooms handy? Add them to your omelette!! - spinach, capsicum, tomatoes, spring onion all taste great in an omelette!
