How to Make Mushroom Omelette Rolls

Here’s a recipe that’s as versatile as it is simple. Mushroom-Omelette Rolls or ‘Sienimunakas-kääryle’ as they’re called in Finnish are fit enough for a morning breakfast, midday snack or dinner. Traditionally, these omelette rolls are made with gourmet mushrooms, but you can substitute just about anything you want in this handy and versatile egg dish. From salmon or spinach to chicken or goat cheese, an omelette roll can please just about any appetite. Here’s how to make a traditional Finnish Sienimunakas-kääryle.

Things You'll Need

• Omelette:
• 6 eggs
• 1 tbsp milk
• 1/2 C wheat flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp white pepper
• Filling:

• 3 tbsp butter, margarine or cooking oil

• 4 C assorted gourmet mushrooms (preferably chantarelles, hedgehog and ceps)

• 2 onions
• salt and pepper (to taste)

• basil and thyme (to taste)

• 1/2 C heavy
cream
• grated parmesan cheese
• jelly roll pan
• mixing bowls
• frying pan
• wax paper
• cutting board
• knife

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.

2. Grease a jelly roll pan and set aside.

3. Beat flour in the milk together.

4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.

5. Once the milk and flour mixture is smooth and lump free, add the eggs and combine thoroughly.

6. Add salt, pepper, basil and thyme.

7. Place in the over and bake just until the top is light brown, about 6-10 minutes depending on thickness. It won’t take very long as the egg mixture should be a very thin sheet, so watch it carefully.

8. Remove the omelette and turn over onto a sheet of wax paper. Set aside to cool slightly.

9. Chop, slice or dice (according to preference) the onions and mushrooms.

10. Saute the onions and mushrooms in olive oil and cream. Do not overcook the mushrooms or allow the cream to boil.

11. Add salt, pepper, basil and thyme to taste.

12. Spread the mushroom mixture onto the top of the omelette and roll it up like a tube.

13. Place the roll back into the jelly roll pan, seam side down so that it doesn’t unroll, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake just until cheese has melted.

Tips & Warnings

• You can try a variation of mushrooms if the ones above are unavailable or do not appeal to you.

• If the omelette-roll is giving you problems staying in a roll, you can use toothpicks or cooking string to keep it together. Egg casseroles aren't very strong and string and/or toothpicks could tear the dish, so be gentle. Turning the roll so it sits with the seam down should keep it in place.

• DO NOT overcook the mushrooms. Mushrooms are done as soon as they begin to shrink.
