Calucha's Open Omelette with Sobrasada and Saffron Milk Cap Mushrooms

The open omelette with sobrasada and saffron milk cap mushrooms is one of the autumn gastronomic creations at Calucha, the restaurant in Mahón harbour where Biel Sintes has made traditional Menorcan recipes, locally sourced ingredients and market-inspired cuisine the defining features of his culinary approach. The restaurant has been distinguished this year with the Foodies on Menorca 2026 Award for Best Gastrobar in Menorca.

Prepared with a lightly set egg base, soft and creamy in texture, this open omelette combines two emblematic ingredients of Menorcan gastronomy. The saffron milk cap mushrooms, with their woodland aromas and meaty texture, are arranged over the omelette alongside small pieces of Menorcan sobrasada, which contribute intensity, richness and the characteristic spicy notes of this traditional cured sausage.

The result is a combination of distinctly autumnal flavours, where the delicacy of the eggs contrasts with the character of the mushrooms and the bold flavour of the sobrasada. This preparation demonstrates how three simple ingredients can become a highly expressive culinary creation, particularly suitable for sharing and enjoying at a leisurely pace.

At Foodies on Menorca, we particularly recommend it to lovers of softly set omelettes, seasonal mushrooms and traditional Menorcan cuisine that keeps its culinary roots alive. Calucha, which had already received the Best Gastrobar in Menorca 2023 distinction from the Association of Gastronomic Journalists and Writers of the Balearic Islands, now adds the Foodies on Menorca 2026 Award for Best Gastrobar, recognising Biel Sintes' traditional and seafood-inspired cuisine.
