Ingredients Notes:

The main ingredients for this omelette are fresh eggs, mushrooms, and butter or olive oil for cooking. You can use any variety of mushrooms, though cremini or button mushrooms are popular choices. If you’re vegan or dairy-free, you can substitute butter with olive oil and use egg substitutes. Cheese is optional but can be added for extra creaminess.

Variations and Substitutions:

You can customize this omelette by adding spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers for a more colorful dish. If you prefer a spicier version, sprinkle in some chili flakes or jalapeños. For a richer texture, consider adding some cooked bacon or ham. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free cheese or skip it entirely.

Storage Options:

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. While omelettes are best fresh, they can be enjoyed the next day as well.
