Creamy Mushroom Cheese Omelette

A creamy and savory mushroom cheese omelette, perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Mushrooms: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or heat the olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
Cook the Omelette: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges set. Then, carefully lift the edges and let the uncooked egg flow to the sides.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette. Let it melt as the omelette continues to cook.
Fold and Serve: Once the omelette is mostly cooked through but still slightly soft in the center, fold it in half. Let it sit for a minute to allow the cheese to fully melt. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

If you prefer a fluffier omelette, you can add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking.
For extra richness, add a spoonful of sour cream or cream cheese to the egg mixture.

Ingredients Notes:

Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms bring the best earthy flavor. Sauté them with butter or olive oil until golden to enhance their taste.
Eggs: Large, fresh eggs will give the omelette a fluffy, light texture.
Cheese: The type of cheese can significantly change the flavor. Try a sharp cheddar for a bold taste or a softer cheese like mozzarella for a gooey texture.
Seasoning: Simple salt and pepper work well, but feel free to experiment with herbs like thyme, oregano, or even a pinch of garlic powder.
Butter or Olive Oil: Use butter for a richer, more indulgent flavor or olive oil for a healthier alternative.

Variations and Substitutions:

Vegetarian: Add spinach, bell peppers, or onions for a veggie-packed omelette.
Cheese Alternatives: Swap out the cheese for a dairy-free version or use goat cheese for a tangy twist.
Meat Lovers: If you’re craving meat, add some cooked bacon, sausage, or even ham.
Spicy Twist: Add jalapeños or hot sauce for an extra kick.

Storage Options:

Store leftover omelette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat it in the microwave or on a skillet for a quick meal. Avoid freezing the omelette as eggs and dairy tend to change texture when frozen.
