Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until soft, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Prepare the Omelette: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the Omelette: In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium-low heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Allow the eggs to cook gently for 1-2 minutes until the edges set, but the center is still slightly runny.
Assemble the Omelette: Spoon the garlic butter mushrooms onto one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half over the mushrooms to enclose them. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, then slide onto a plate.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious, savory Garlic Butter Mushroom Omelette!

Notes

For a more creamy texture, add a tablespoon of heavy cream to the eggs before whisking.
To make this dish dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil and omit any cheese.

Ingredients Notes:

Fresh Mushrooms: Button mushrooms work well in this recipe, but feel free to experiment with cremini, portobello, or shiitake for a different flavor profile.
Butter: Using real butter (not margarine) for this recipe makes all the difference, bringing out a rich, creamy taste.
Eggs: The fresher the eggs, the fluffier your omelette will be. Organic or farm-fresh eggs are ideal for this dish.
Garlic: Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. If you don’t have fresh garlic, garlic powder can be used in a pinch, but fresh offers the most robust flavor.

Variations and Substitutions:

Cheese: Add a handful of shredded cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan for a cheesy twist.
Herbs: For added flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley on top before serving.
Meat Add-ins: For a more filling meal, add cooked bacon, sausage, or ham to the omelette filling.
Vegetarian Options: Add other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or onions for a more vegetable-packed omelette.

Storage Options:

Refrigeration: Store any leftover omelette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm in a pan on low heat to prevent overcooking.
Freezing: Although omelettes are best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze leftovers. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
