Instructions
Prepare the Mushrooms
- 1Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
- 2Add the sliced forest mushrooms and fresh thyme. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
- 3Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the Omelet
- 1In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, a pinch of salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- 2Heat a non-stick omelet pan over medium-low heat.
- 3Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- 4Gently push the cooked edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- 5Continue this process until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly moist on top.
- 6Spoon the sautéed mushrooms onto one half of the omelet.
- 7Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the mushrooms.
- 8Slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Garnish with fresh chopped chives.
