A Mushroom Omelet is a delicious and hearty dish that highlights the earthy flavors of mushrooms. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. Here’s a simple recipe to make a tasty mushroom omelet:
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or your choice)
- 1/4 cup cheese (cheddar, feta, or your preferred cheese), optional
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped herbs (parsley, chives) for garnish
Instructions:
-
Sauté the Mushrooms:
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the butter or olive oil.
- Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and any moisture has evaporated. Season with a little salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
Prepare the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
-
Cook the Omelet:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more butter or oil if needed. Pour in the beaten eggs and let them cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
-
Add the Filling:
- Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, add the sautéed mushrooms (and cheese if using) to one half of the omelet.
-
Fold the Omelet:
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for another minute until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.
-
Serve:
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
Enjoy your mushroom omelet with toast or a side salad for a complete meal!
