Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced (button, cremini, or your favorite)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional; Gruyère, cheddar, or Parmesan work well)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Whisk the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the Omelette: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Add the Fillings: Evenly distribute the cooked mushrooms and cheese (if using) over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
- Fold and Finish: Use a spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set but still soft.
- Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with additional herbs, if desired. Serve immediately with toast, salad, or your favorite sides.
Enjoy your homemade mushroom omelette—a delightful balance of savory and creamy textures that’s sure to brighten any mealtime!
