Method
Slice the mushrooms into 0.5 cm thick rounds and thinly halve the onions6 into half-moons. Grate the cheese with a box grater.
Melt 1 tbsp butter2 in a 20 cm skillet over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms and onions6 for 5 minutes until golden and the onions are soft.
Whisk the eggs1 with milk4, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour the mixture over the mushrooms and spread evenly.
Cover the skillet and cook on medium heat for 4 minutes until the omelette sets at the edges.
Sprinkle the cheese over the omelette, fold in half, and cook on low heat for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and the center stays tender.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Tips
- Why it works
- Sauté mushrooms and onions first to remove moisture so the omelette doesn’t turn soggy. Stop when they’re golden. Overcooking makes them bitter.
- Substitutions
- Use 20g cream cheese instead of hard cheese for creamier texture. Swap button mushrooms for 70g white champignons if unavailable.
- Common mistakes
- Overcooking the eggs makes them rubbery; check by lifting the edges. They should still be slightly translucent inside.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or within 1 day. Reheat in a dry pan for 1 minute per side to avoid dryness. Freezing isn’t recommended.
- Serve with
- Pair with 1 slice of buttered toast and a side of sliced cucumber for a simple, balanced meal.
