Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 100 grams fresh mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 30 grams cheddar cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or rinse them briefly and pat them dry. Thinly slice them.

Step 2

Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and let it melt.

Step 5

Once the butter is bubbling, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're golden brown and tender. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Lower the heat slightly and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cooked mushrooms and grated cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.

Step 8

Let the omelette cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until it's almost fully set but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 9

Gently fold the empty side of the omelette over the side with the mushrooms and cheese. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt the cheese and finish cooking.

Step 10

Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
