I am often left with just a handful of mushrooms which won’t suffice for any other recipe. So I would use them up this way. My family lately discovered this to be delicious and now this is on the weekly menu. Mushrooms are a power house of nutrition, so if you are a fitness freak you are most likely to love this vegetarian meaty goodness.  Mushrooms are versatile and go well in so many dishes like stir fry, curries, fried rice and this mushroom omelette is no exception. Mildly flavoured with spices and herbs, this omelette also has a great earthy aroma from the stir fried mushrooms. I haven’t used any dairy here but you can very well use butter to cook the omelette and milk to beat the eggs which can make the omelette fluffier. If you love mushroom with cheese then you made add mozzarella or parmesan. I have used white button mushrooms for a milder flavor but cremini also go well in this recipe.

How to make Mushroom Omelette

Preparation

  1. Slice a medium onion & half cup mushrooms. Chop 2 to 3 garlic cloves, 1 to 2 green chilies and handful of coriander leaves. You can use other veggies like capsicum, carrots, cabbage etc. Set these aside.
  2. Break 2 eggs to a bowl. Add ¼ teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon turmeric and ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder. (You can also use only 3 egg whites if you do not want to use the yolks.)
  3. Beat the eggs until frothy.
  4. Heat a pan with 1 teaspoon oil on a medium heat. Add cumin (optional), garlic and chilies. Fry them until garlic smells good.
  5. Add sliced onions and mushrooms. If using bell peppers add them here.
  6. On e medium high heat, saute until the mushrooms are roasted well and cooked.
  7. Add coriander leaves. Stir and mix. Remove this mixture to a small plate or bowl

Make the Omelette

  1. Add another tsp of oil to the pan. If the pan is too hot, switch off the stove for a while to cool down.
  2. Regulate the flame to medium, pour the beaten eggs.
  3. Cook until the eggs set well. Then spread the onion mushroom mixture.
  4. Flip it and cook until the eggs are cooked completely. Remove to serving plate and sprinkle dried herbs if you like. Serve mushroom omelette hot or warm as is or with bread or roti. It also goes well as a side in a meal with rice. You can also wrap it in roti or tortillas.
