Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Mushrooms
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 ounce Gruyere cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Slice the mushrooms thinly and finely mince the garlic. Grate the Gruyere cheese and chop the parsley for garnish.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe out the skillet and place it back on medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the sautéed mushrooms evenly over one half of the omelet. Add the grated Gruyere cheese on top of the mushrooms.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press gently to seal the edges.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the omelet is cooked through but still moist.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm.
