Ingredients
  • 2 Eggs
  • 100 g Mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Milk or Cream
  • Pinch Salt
  • Pinch Black Pepper
  • 20 g Optional: Cheese (shredded)
  • 1 tsp Optional: Fresh Herbs (chopped parsley, chives)

Prepare the Mushrooms

Start by slicing the mushrooms thinly. This ensures they cook quickly and evenly. Heat the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are softened and lightly browned. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (or cream) until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. The milk or cream adds a richness and fluffiness to the omelet.

Cook the Omelet

Return the pan to medium heat and add a little more butter if needed. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it cook for a minute or two, until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan so that the uncooked egg mixture flows underneath. This will ensure the omelet cooks evenly.

Add the Filling

Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, sprinkle the cooked mushrooms over one half of the omelet. If using, add shredded cheese over the mushrooms as well.

Fold and Serve

Gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for another minute or two, until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through. Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
