Instructions
Mushroom Filling
- 1Heat olive oil and 1/2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- 2Add minced shallots and sauté until softened, about 1-2 minutes.
- 3Add sliced forest mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4Stir in heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Omelet
- 1In a bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- 2Melt the remaining 1/2 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the butter coats the entire bottom of the pan.
- 3Pour the whisked eggs into the hot skillet. Cook without stirring until the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to gently pull the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- 4Continue cooking until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, about 2-3 minutes.
- 5Spoon the prepared mushroom filling over one half of the omelet.
- 6Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese over the mushroom filling.
- 7Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using a spatula.
- 8Cook for another 30-60 seconds to melt the cheese and ensure the omelet is heated through.
Serve
- 1Slide the omelet onto a serving plate.
- 2Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Tips
- Ensure mushrooms are thoroughly cleaned as forest mushrooms can harbor grit; a brush works best.
- Don't overcook the omelet; a slightly undercooked center results in a creamier texture.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, perhaps with a side salad.
