Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup white button mushrooms
- 1 quarter cup grated cheese (such as cheddar or Gruyere)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel, then slice them thinly.
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well-blended.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Let the eggs cook without stirring for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Using a spatula, gently spread the mushrooms and grated cheese over one half of the omelette.
Continue cooking for about 3-4 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still tender.
Carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure the inside is heated through.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve hot.
