Mushroom sauce omelet

This dish is a fluffy omelet topped with lots of mushroom sauce. The red wine is reduced until all the alcohol is cooked off, so it adds depth of flavor to the sauce. When cooking the omelets, mix the egg rapidly for a fluffy finished product. Recipe provided by: Hattori Nutrition College
