Taste of Home Tuesday: Herbs and Mushrooms Omelets Deluxe

Ingredients
1 pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon each minced fresh parsley, tarragon and chives
1/2 teaspoon dried chervil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

ASIAGO SAUCE:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup shredded Asiago cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt

OMELETS:
4 teaspoons butter, divided
8 eggs
1/2 cup water
Additional minced fresh herbs, optional

Directions
In a large skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in the herbs, salt and pepper. Remove from the heat; set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cheese and salt. Keep warm.
In a small nonstick skillet, melt 1 teaspoon butter over medium-high heat. Whisk eggs and water until blended. Add 2/3 cup egg mixture to skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges).
As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are set, spoon 1/2 cup mushroom mixture on one side; fold other side over filling. Slide omelet onto a plate; top with 1/4 cup sauce. Sprinkle with additional herbs if desired. Repeat. Yield: 4 servings.

These omelets are very filling, but delicious!  The Asiago sauce added a nice touch.  We have always used regular cheese on our omelets, but the sauce was very good!
