Easy Mushroom Breakfast Omelette

A delicious and quick mushroom omelette for dinner, made with eggs, mushrooms, cheese, and fresh herbs for flavor.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 7 minutes

Total Time 12 minutes

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), optional
Optional toppings: Sour cream, hot sauce, or extra cheese

Instructions

Prep the ingredients: Slice the mushrooms and chop your herbs if using.
Cook the mushrooms: In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, season with a pinch of salt, and sauté until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
Cook the omelette: Pour the eggs over the cooked mushrooms in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Add cheese and herbs: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette and add any herbs if desired.
Fold the omelette: Carefully fold the omelette in half and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with extra herbs or toppings like sour cream if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

For a fluffier omelette, whisk the eggs well and add a splash of water or milk. Don’t overcrowd the pan with too many mushrooms, as they need room to cook evenly.

Ingredients Notes:

Mushrooms: Button or cremini mushrooms work best, but you can experiment with other varieties like shiitake or portobello for different flavors.
Eggs: Fresh eggs yield the best results for a fluffy texture.
Cheese: Cheddar, mozzarella, or feta are great options, adding richness and flavor.
Seasoning: Salt, pepper, and fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) elevate the dish. You can also add garlic powder or a pinch of paprika for extra flavor.
Butter or Oil: For cooking, butter gives a rich taste, but olive oil is a healthier option.

Variations and Substitutions:

Vegetarian Option: Add spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes for a more colorful and nutritious omelette.
Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free cheese and cook with olive oil or coconut oil.
Meat Additions: Add cooked bacon, ham, or sausage for a heartier meal.
Herb Swap: Instead of parsley, use basil or dill for a different flavor profile.

Storage Options:

Store any leftover omelette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm in a skillet over low heat. Omelettes are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers make a great snack or quick breakfast.
