Mushroom and Feta Omelette

A savory Mushroom and Feta Omelette, perfect for dinner, offering rich flavors, creamy texture, and a delightful quick meal.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until the mixture is light and frothy. Set aside. Clean and slice the mushrooms thinly and crumble the feta cheese.
Cook the Mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Omelette Base: Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Pour in the whisked eggs, swirling the pan gently to spread the mixture evenly.
Add Fillings: Once the eggs are mostly set but slightly runny on top, sprinkle the cooked mushrooms and feta cheese over one side of the omelette.
Fold and Cook: Gently fold the omelette in half, covering the fillings. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted and the eggs are fully set.
Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate, sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives, and serve immediately. Pair with a side salad or toasted bread for a complete meal.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs while whisking.
Avoid overstuffing the omelette to make folding easier.

Ingredients Notes

Eggs: Use fresh, large eggs for the best flavor and texture. Free-range eggs are ideal for their rich taste.
Mushrooms: Button, cremini, or shiitake mushrooms work wonderfully. Make sure to clean and slice them thinly for even cooking.
Feta Cheese: Choose high-quality, creamy feta for the best results. Avoid pre-crumbled feta as it tends to be drier.
Butter: Adds a rich flavor. Unsalted butter lets you control the salt level.
Herbs: Fresh parsley or chives enhance the omelette’s flavor with a burst of freshness.

Variations and Substitutions

Cheese Variations: Substitute feta with goat cheese, cheddar, or mozzarella for a different flavor.
Vegetables: Add spinach, bell peppers, or onions for extra nutrients and color.
Proteins: Include cooked chicken, ham, or smoked salmon for a more filling dish.
Vegan Option: Use tofu or chickpea flour to create a vegan omelette and replace feta with vegan cheese.

Storage Options

Store leftover omelette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave. Avoid overcooking during reheating to preserve the texture.
