I purposely held back 4 mushrooms from the mushroom tarte so that I could make this omelette for breakfast this morning to share with Jade. Here is the secret to how I became a famous mushroom omelette maker; I don’t cook the mushrooms a long time. After sauteing the shallots in butter, I add the mushrooms and briefly toss them in the hot pan until they take on color and begin to soften, then I remove the mushroom mixture to a bowl and set aside. I then add a little more butter to the pan and pour in 2 beaten eggs, cooking until the eggs are almost set. I put the cooked mushrooms on one half of the egg omelette, sprinkle on cheese and fold in half, cook for about another minute, sprinkle on snipped chives and remove to a plate. That’s it, mushroom omelette success!
This omelette serves two very well. I added srichacha sauce to my mine and poured a cup of coffee. Jade had a regular breakfast with toast, orange juice and yogurt.
What is the correct spelling for omelette?
Mushroom omelette is one of my favourite kind of omelette.
Glad to hear it. I love mushrooms.
Oooooh yum. I watched a program yesterday that had a clip of the late great Keith Floyd being shown how to make the perfect omelet – it was extremely funny… This one looks really good, the photos are great.
Thank you. I’ll have to check our Keith Floyd.
Sorry but because I déteste omelettes, the first thing I thought was “I love that tablecloth”!
Well, that’s a good thing, too, right? RIGHT? However, while the omelette sure looks delicous as well, I bet that when turning it into a nice crêpe or German-style pancake, I could find some love for that dish, either! 😉 Your tip with the mushrooms is great!

Hi Tobias. That was honest 🙂 Mushroom crepes would be wonderful! I’m glad you liked to tablecloth.
This looks super yummy!
It was good! Thanks for visiting.
That looks perfect. I have mangled plenty an omelette.
Me too, Greg. What works for me is that I put the stuffing in after the egg is set.
