Ingredients
- Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped)
- Butter (2 tablespoons)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Cheddar cheese (1/2 cup, shredded)
- Mushrooms (1 cup, sliced (preferably cremini or button mushrooms))

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs, add a pinch of salt and black pepper, and whisk them together until fully combined.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over the sautéed mushrooms. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly 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 minute or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve hot with toasted bread or a side salad for a refreshing complement.
