Mushroom Tomato Omelette
In this mushroom tomato omelette, the ripe, juicy cherry tomatoes mixed with the meaty button mushrooms form a delectable combination of flavors. The fluffy eggs, cooked to perfection, and the melted provolone cheese tie everything together in this comforting breakfast dish.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 3-4 eggs
- 3-4 button mushrooms sliced
- 1 handful of cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 tbsp chopped basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
- ¼ cup provolone cheese thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste until everything is well combined.
- Slice tomatoes and mushrooms.
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a small skillet or omelette pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Add tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes or until they start to soften.
- Stir in the basil and pepper to taste and set aside on a plate.
- In the same pan, heat the remaining oil over medium-low heat and add the egg mixture; let it cook until the bottom forms a skin.
- Lay the provolone cheese over half the omelette, followed by the mushroom and tomato filling, leaving some aside for topping.
- Cook until the edges of the omelette are set and the top is no longer runny.
- Using a rubber spatula, lift the edges of the omelette and carefully fold the other half over the filling. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the omelette to a serving plate and spoon over the rest of the filling.
- Garnish with some parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
It’s important to cook the mushrooms before adding them to the eggs so that they release all of their moisture. If you decide to skip this step, you risk making a soggy omelette and you don’t want that!
Pan size matters! Make sure you have the right size pan (8-9 inches) to cook up an omelette. Too big a pan and your omelette will come out thin, risking the integrity of the omelette. Too small, and the omelette will be too thick to fold.
If you don’t have specifically cherry tomatoes or button mushrooms, that’s alright! There are so many different kinds of tomatoes and mushrooms, any will do.
