Ingredients:

• 3 large free range eggs
• 100mL fresh morels
• 50mL fresh goat cheese, crumbled
• 250mL chives, thinly sliced
• 75mL butter
• 50mL white wine
• 30mL shallots, finely diced

Instructions:

• In a small sauce pot, add rinsed morels, white wine and 50mL of butter. Cook on medium heat until the mushrooms are cooked and the liquid has thickened into a glaze, around 5 minutes. Add chives and correct seasoning and keep warm. In a medium sized bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously with a pinch of salt. Heat a non stick omelette pan on medium heat, add the rest of the butter and let it foam briefly. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture and shake the pan in a round motion, constantly stirring with a spatula until the eggs are almost set. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the goat cheese and roll into a cigar shape. Transfer very carefully onto a plate. Garnish with stewed morels and serve with crusty bread.
