Ingredients
- 3 pcs eggs(large, at room temperature)
- 5oz forest mushrooms(cleaned and sliced (e.g., chanterelles, morels, porcini))
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 2oz gruyere cheese(grated)
- 1 tbsp shallots(finely minced)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley(chopped, for garnish)
- salt(to taste)
- black pepper(freshly ground, to taste)
Instructions
Mushroom Filling
- Heat olive oil and 1/2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add minced shallots and sauté until softened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add sliced forest mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Omelet
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Melt the remaining 1/2 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the butter coats the entire bottom of the pan.
- Pour 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.
- Continue cooking until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, about 2-3 minutes.
- Spoon the prepared mushroom filling over one half of the omelet.
- Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese over the mushroom filling.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using a spatula.
- Cook for another 30-60 seconds to melt the cheese and ensure the omelet is heated through.
Serve
- Slide the omelet onto a serving plate.
- Garnish 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.
