Carefully clean the chanterelles and cut the larger ones if needed. Finely chop the garlic and chop the parsley.

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté it for a few moments without letting it brown.
Add the chanterelle mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until tender and they have released their water. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper and half the chopped parsley.
Pour the beaten eggs over the chanterelles in the skillet. Cook the omelet over medium heat until the edges are set and the center is still slightly runny, if you like.
Fold the omelet in half or roll it. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the rest of the chopped parsley.

Good to know

Chef's tip

To clean chanterelles, gently brush them to remove the dirt rather than running them under water, to preserve their flavor. Feel free to adjust how long you cook the omelet to your taste, more or less runny.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Not advised. The omelet turns spongy, and the mushrooms lose their firmness.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 24h max in the fridge in an airtight container. Texture suffers beyond that.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Clean/cut the chanterelles, chop the garlic and parsley. Store separately in the fridge.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat 3-5min or in the microwave at medium/low power 1-2min. Watch it to avoid drying out.

Variations

Fold the omelet in half or roll it.
Leave the center slightly runny if you like.
Sprinkle with the rest of the chopped parsley before serving.

Mistakes to avoid

Browning the garlic: sauté it for just a few moments.
Pouring in the eggs before the chanterelles have released their water.
Overcooking the omelet: leave the center runny.
