Mushroom & herb omelet

Browned mushrooms add depth to a simple cheese omelet. Cook them first so excess moisture evaporates before the eggs go into the pan.

Now for the good part

Let’s make it.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Heat half the oil in a nonstick pan. Cook mushrooms 7–9 minutes until browned, then transfer to a plate.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Whisk eggs with salt, pepper and parsley. Add remaining oil to the pan, lower heat and pour in eggs. Gently pull set edges toward the center.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    When nearly set, add mushrooms and cheese on one half. Fold, cover and cook 2–3 minutes until no liquid egg remains. Cut in two to serve.

Little things that help

Make it your own.

  • Use a flexible spatula and a good nonstick pan to make folding easier.

Keeping the leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow covered containers within 2 hours. Use within 3 days and reheat until steaming hot throughout; reheated leftovers should reach 74°C / 165°F.
