The great English poet John Keats famously described autumn as the “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” – a phrase that’s been on our minds as the summer draws to a close and the longer nights begin to gradually creep in. Even here at the Château Bouffémont there is a little nip in the air, and the leaves seem to be thinking about changing their colours. The transformation of the seasons calls for a recipe that’s a little more on the cosy and warming side, perfect for enjoying with friends – and what could be better than a classic girolle mushroom omelette?
Girolles are a specific (and extremely delicious) type of mushroom known for their creamy colouring and slightly sweet flavour profile. A beloved staple of chefs everywhere, girolles are best enjoyed in simple dishes such as omelettes, in order to truly appreciate the complexities and richness of their flavour. Rich in Vitamins C and D, a girolle omelette makes the perfect autumnal pick-me-up – especially when complemented by the timeless simplicity of a little salt, pepper, butter, garlic and olive oil. Divine.
