Mushroom and Cheese Omelette is a flavorful and satisfying dish that’s perfect for breakfast or brunch. The combination of tender mushrooms and melted cheese creates a delicious filling. Here’s a simple recipe to make this tasty omelette:
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1 cup (100g) sliced mushrooms (such as cremini, button, or shiitake)
- 1/4 cup (30g) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives, for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or olive oil.
- Add the sliced mushrooms (and onions and garlic if using) to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or water, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
-
Cook the Omelette:
- In the same skillet, add a little more butter or olive oil if needed and heat over medium-low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
-
Add the Filling:
- Once the eggs are starting to set but are still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the cooked mushrooms (and cheese) evenly over one half of the omelette.
-
Fold and Finish:
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling using a spatula. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
-
Serve:
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
- Mushrooms: Make sure the mushrooms are well-cooked before adding them to the omelette to avoid excess moisture.
- Cheese: Choose a cheese that melts well for a creamy texture. You can also mix different cheeses for added flavor.
- Cooking: Cook the omelette over medium-low heat to ensure it cooks evenly without burning.
Mushroom and Cheese Omelette is a classic and versatile dish that’s quick to make and perfect for any meal of the day. Enjoy it with a side salad, toast, or fresh fruit for a complete meal!
