Start by preparing your ingredients. Peel and finely slice the medium yellow onion. Clean the button mushrooms with a damp towel and slice them thinly. Chop the fresh parsley finely and set it aside.
In a bowl, crack open the eggs and add the unsweetened almond milk. Season with salt and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until they become translucent and begin to caramelize.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onions. Continue to sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft and any moisture has evaporated.
Remove the onion and mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place the skillet back on medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they start to set around the edges.
Distribute the cooked onion and mushroom mixture evenly over one half of the omelet. Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for another minute or until the eggs are fully set.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
