Default Omelet recipe

I normally don't post recipes. Heck I normally don't use recipes, not even when baking. But this morning I came across one which I thought everyone might like.

This is from Norma's at the Parker Meridien hotel.

Quote:
Ingredients:

6 eggs
1 tbsp. chopped chives
1˝ tbsps. butter
1 lobster
5 tbsps. heavy cream
10 ounces sevruga caviar


Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place whole lobster in a pot of boiling water. Boil for one minute, then put lobster in a bath of cold water. Remove tail from lobster and pry meat from shell, keeping it whole. Remove meat from claws and chop the meat. Cut the lobster in half and remove the tomalley, or liver (that soft, blackish-green stuff in the stomach).

Heat ˝ tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan. Add heavy cream and bring to a boil. Cook three minutes while stirring. Strain sauce into a bowl and set aside.

Break eggs into a bowl. Add chives and half of the sauce and beat with a fork.

In an omelet pan, heat ˝ tablespoon butter. Add chopped claw meat and sauté two minutes.

Add the egg-chives mixture and cook slowly over medium heat until firm, about five minutes.

While the omelet is cooking, in another saucepan heat ˝ *tablespoon butter and cook the lobster tail for three minutes. Slice and arrange on top of the omelet and finish cooking in the oven two more minutes.

Place the cooked omelet on a serving plate and spoon remaining sauce over it. Spoon caviar on top and serve.

Man caviar is like $40-50 an ounce. 10oz and the food cost can be like $500, not to mention the lobster! They need to charge $1500 for the omelet!

I think I'll make mine with the tiny orange stuff in the jar. LOL!
