Instructions
- In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until they are soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten, seasoning them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- In another non-stick skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and allow them to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
- Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the skillet to let the uncooked eggs flow toward the edges.
- Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the sautéed onions, mushrooms, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped parsley over one half of the omelet.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling and cook for another minute to melt the cheese and finish cooking the eggs.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
Tips
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sautéed mushrooms and onions.
- Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
- You can also add other vegetables such as bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
