Tomorrow we’re going to Sens for Antonio’s birthday! Wisely I think, we’ve decided to drive to Strasbourg, park the car, and then take the TGV to Paris and the local train on to Sens. This way, we won’t have to worry about a long drive after a long night and on the way back, we can get the car, drop Jade at school then only have 1 1/2 hour drive to Stuttgart. No problem with transportation in Sens; we have a little Citroen that is parked at the house.
I really couldn’t be bothered making anything new for dinner yesterday, so I chopped some leftover roasted chicken, sliced some scallions and mushrooms, heated it up with butter and we ate that over toast.
With the leftovers, I made an omelette for my lunch and poured myself a fortifying glass of tomato juice to build up my stamina for the weekend 🙂 Sacramento Brand Tomato Juice is the best!
Chicken and Mushroom Omelette
1 tbsp butter
2 eggs, beaten
Salt and pepper
Parmesan cheese, shredded
Chicken and mushroom ragout (see below)
Thyme leaves
Melt the butter in an omelette pan and add the eggs, then season with salt and pepper. Cook the egg until almost set, sprinkle with some of the cheese, add a little bit of the ragout, then fold and cook until done. Top with ragout, cheese and thyme leaves.
Chicken and Mushroom Ragout
2 tbsp butter
2 cups cooked chicken, coarsely chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 scallions, sliced
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp soy sauce, mixed with a 1 tbsp water
Toast
Melt the butter in a saute pan, then add the chicken, mushrooms and scallions. Saute until the mushrooms begin to release their water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the soy sauce water. Cover and cook for a few minutes, then serve over toast.
Beverage suggestion: Tomato juice
I am planning a similar simple dinner tonight. When we are alone wee are happy with good plain food. Enjoy your train ride, i like to travel by train, you see the countryside from a new and much more relaxing perspective.. c
Thank you c. I love riding the train! So much better than the plane; having to arrive hours before departure, security, etc. The trains usually leave on time and you just have to get on before they leave 😀
i like this food
Thank you Iwan.
okay, thx again… success for u
I think you’ll need your stamina for the weekend and lots of room for cheese.
I hope you all have a wonderful time 😉
Thank you Mad.
I am salivating. Great post!
Thank you Brenda.
I love the omlette and the train. I wish train travel was more accessable in the US. Maybe one day we will build the infastructure but not if Washington can’t get it together…
We used to have lots a passenger trains with the infrastructure in the U.S. but for some reason we decided that they weren’t needed.
looks delish!
Thank you Adriana.
Lovely omelet! I like the chicken mushroom ragout that you stuffed it with. Sounds so delicious! Have a great time in Sens!
Thank you Tessa. We did like the impromptu ragout and will probably repeat it.
Looks so amazing and delicious! Any tips on how you get your omelette to look like perfection? Even after 20 years of trying, mine always end up looking like scrambled eggs 😉
Thank you Kate. Use a non-stick saute pan and add enough butter. As the edges cook, left the edges and allow the uncooked egg to run underneath. Do this until the omelette is almost cooked, add cheese, filling, then fold over.
Thanks for the tip! I will be trying this out over the weekend 🙂
It’ll be good to be back in France.
It was.
Une recette trés gourmande 🙂
Merci Josephine.
Simple and lovely looking. I’m planning a dish of mushrooms tomorrow, so this is stoking my culinary fire. Yum!
Thank you Fawn.
Reblogged this on blog mazgie72.
Looks yummy! Can I ask what type of Parmesan Cheese did you use? I couldn’t seem to find one that goes with my omelettes so far 🙂 Thanks!
Buy a piece of Parmesan from Italy at a cheese/delicatessen store, then grate.
Thank you, but I was wondering whether it was Reggiano or Grana Padano, or some other type 🙂
You know, I don’t remember. I just saw some parmesan at the cheese stall and asked for some without reading I guess. It’s good 🙂
OK, thanks! 🙂
Pretty recipe along with a pretty and perfect picture 🙂
Loved it immensely.
Love.
Thanks.
