Chef tips

Do not rinse mushrooms under the tap: they soak up water.
Low heat for the eggs keeps them creamy.
Button or shiitake mushrooms work equally well.

Variations

Substitutions for a vegan version

Instead of: 4 eggs

Use: per egg: 50 g mashed firm tofu + 1 tbsp aquafaba (or 1 tbsp chia seeds soaked in 3 tbsp water)

Why: Egg binds, leavens or sets depending on the step; you need plant protein and liquid to mimic that role.

Tip: In doughs, blend tofu until creamy. For coating, use foamed aquafaba. In omelettes, add turmeric for colour.
Instead of: 80 g diced serrano ham

Use: same amount of seitan strips, cooked brown lentils or sliced portobello mushrooms

Why: Meat provides chewable protein and fat; you need a substitute that survives long cooking and absorbs spices.

Tip: If using lentils, keep them whole for texture. With seitan, sear over high heat first. Adjust salt at the end.
