Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chopped parsley, chives, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Allow it to foam and bubble slightly, but do not let it brown.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to set.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, evenly sprinkle the cooked mushrooms over one half of the omelette.
- Fold the other half of the omelette over the mushrooms and cook for another minute to let the flavors meld and the eggs finish cooking.
- Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- For a creamier texture, you can substitute heavy cream for the milk.
- Feel free to add cheese, such as feta or cheddar, for an extra layer of flavor.
- Experiment with different types of mushrooms or herbs to customize the dish to your taste.
