Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup white or cremini mushrooms
- 0.33 cup Swiss cheese
- 1 teaspoon chives (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully blended and slightly frothy.
Clean and slice the mushrooms thinly. Set them aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly browned. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set them aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Swirl the pan gently to spread the eggs into an even layer.
Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to set, but the center is still slightly runny.
Evenly distribute the sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese over one half of the omelet.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using a spatula. Press gently to seal.
Continue to cook for 1 more minute to melt the cheese and allow the omelet to fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
