Allow me to introduce you to the beauty of breakfast and brunch – the endearing Mushroom Swiss Omelette. This decadent delight dances on your taste buds with a well-choreographed medley of savoury, earthy mushroom morsels, coupled with the creamy yet slightly sharp Swiss cheese, all encapsulated in a fluffy bed of nutritious egg.
Ingredients List
Choose from the following to create a tantalizing table of flavours:
- 6 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cups of fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup of Swiss cheese, shredded
- Fresh parsley for garnish
In case Swiss cheese isn’t your cup of tea, feel free to use cheddar, gouda or even mozzarella. Likewise, if assorted mushrooms are handy, they would add an extra layer of flavour to your omelette.
Instructions
Begin by breaking the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and pepper before beating lightly. This ensures your omelette will ooze a perfect symphony of flavours.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
Now, sprinkle in the sliced mushrooms and cook them until they’re lightly browned. This step releases the earthy flavour of mushrooms, marrying it beautifully with the sweetness of onions.
Time to involve everyone’s favourite – the cheese. Layer the shredded Swiss cheese over the cooked mushroom and onions, forming a blissful blanket of creamy delight.
Pour the beaten eggs over the cheese, ensuring even coverage. Cook the omelette until the underside is set.
With the help of a spatula, fold one side of the omelette over the other. Let it cook for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
And, you’re done! Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
