Mushroom and Swiss Cheese Omelette
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, beat 3 large eggs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
- Add 1/4 cup of sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, swirling to evenly distribute the mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes, lifting the edges with a spatula to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath.
- Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded Swiss cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese to create a half-moon shape. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot. Enjoy!
