Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 cup mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Wash the green onions and mushrooms thoroughly. Finely chop the green onions and slice the mushrooms into thin pieces.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 4

Add the chopped green onions and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms are softened and the green onions are fragrant. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the same skillet. Tilt the skillet to spread the eggs out evenly and let them cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.

Step 6

Sprinkle the sautéed green onions and mushrooms over one half of the omelet. If using shredded cheese, add it on top of the vegetables at this point.

Step 7

Carefully use a spatula to fold the other half of the omelet over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the cheese, if added, is melted.

Step 8

Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
