Mushroom and cheese omelette
Instructions
Tips
When it comes to mushrooms, the options are endless. If you prefer a rich, earthy flavour, you can opt for cremini mushrooms to add more depth to the omelette. Shiitake mushrooms, on the other hand, have a meaty, slightly smoky, and nutty flavour and are great for adding a burst of umami. Portobello mushrooms are large and meaty, making them an excellent option for a heartier dish. If you are in a hurry or just want to save time, you can make the mushroom and cheese omelette in advance and reheat it when you are ready to eat. Simply cook it, let it cool, and wrap it in foil or cling film and store it in the refrigerator. To reheat the omelette, simply unwrap it and place it in a pan or on a plate and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.

Add your own touch
The mushroom and cheese omelette is a classic breakfast recipe that can be enjoyed time and time again, but why not try to transform it into something new and exciting with just a few simple tweaks? One way to change up the omelette is by adding different spices and herbs to the mix. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat, while fresh basil can bring a kick of fresh flavour. Or try finely chopped chives, adding a mild onion flavour that goes well with both eggs and mushrooms.
Another option is to incorporate different cheeses, such as feta or cheddar, to give the mushroom and cheese omelette an extra creamy finish. If you are looking to add a touch of colour, try adding brightly coloured vegetables, such as different-coloured peppers or cherry tomatoes into your mix – just remember that this might prolong the cooking time slightly.
