Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 medium-sized portobello mushroom sliced
  • ½ cup Swiss cheese grated
  • ¾ tbsp chopped parsley plus more for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced portobello mushroom and saute until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
  • In a small bowl, add the eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Beat until well combined.
  • In the same skillet, spread the remaining olive oil to coat the bottom and sides evenly, and heat over medium heat.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let sit for a minute.
  • On one half of the egg, add the grated Swiss cheese followed by the sauteed portobello mushroom.
  • Cook until the bottom starts to set and a skin forms.
  • Using a rubber spatula, lift the edges of the omelette, folding the untopped side over the other.
  • Let cook for a minute longer before sliding the omelette onto a plate.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Mushrooms retain a lot of moisture, so it’s very important that the portobello mushrooms be cooked separately before being added to the eggs. If you skip this step, you risk having them undercooked and a chewy omelette as a result.
When flipping your omelettes, using a rubber spatula is a must! The flexibility it offers makes it easy to manipulate and reduces the casualties of crumbled omelettes.
When choosing your mushrooms, I recommend picking medium to large portobello mushrooms. Look for mushrooms that are firm, plump, and have a clean end. Clean them properly and remove the stems before slicing them.
It’s very difficult to overcook these mushrooms in general because of the heat-stable polymer it contains. They may get a little more firm after a certain amount of time overheating, but the center will remain tender.
Feel free to swap out the Swiss cheese with your preferred variety.
