Ingredients

8 mushroom
3 egg
2 tablespoons of sunflower oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

Directions

In a small bowl, add salt and pepper to the egg. Whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper together until well combined.
Clean the mushrooms and wash them. Slice them thinly.
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
Put the oil in a pan and heat it.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the mushrooms.
As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to lift the edges of the omelette and let the uncooked eggs run underneath. When the bottom side is cooked, turn it over and cook the other side.
If desired, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the omelette and fold it in half. Let the cheese melt and the eggs finish cooking, about 1-2 minutes.
Put the omelette on a plate, garnish with chopped herbs.
Serve immediately.

Tips

Use fresh and high-quality ingredients. Make sure you use fresh mushrooms and eggs and high-quality butter or oil for the best flavor.
Clean the mushrooms properly. Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel or a brush. Do not wash them. As they absorb water and become soggy.
Slice the mushrooms thinly. This helps to cook them faster.
Cook the mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms in butter or olive oil until they are golden brown and all the moisture has evaporated. This will give them a meaty texture and enhance their flavor.
Season it well. Season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
Beat the eggs well. Whisk the eggs until they are well combined and the mixture is frothy. In this way, the omelette will be fluffy and light.
Use a non-stick pan. This will prevent the omelette from sticking to the pan, and it will make flipping the omelette easier. You can also add a little bit of butter or oil to the pan before cooking to prevent it from sticking.
Preheat the pan. Heat the pan on medium heat for a minute or two before adding the butter or oil.
Cook the omelet over low heat to make sure it cooks evenly.
Pour the eggs into the pan. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, or until it starts to set on the bottom.
Add the mushrooms to one side. Add the sautéed mushrooms to one side of the omelet, leaving some space around the edges.
Fold the omelette. Use a spatula to gently fold the other side of the omelette over the mushrooms, creating a half-moon shape.
Garnish with fresh herbs. Sprinkle some chopped herbs like chives or parsley over the top of the omelette before serving.

How To Make Fluffy Omelette?

Here are some tips for making a fluffy omelette:

Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs have more moisture, which will help your omelette stay fluffy.
Beat the eggs well. Use a whisk or a fork to vigorously beat the eggs until the whites and yolks are completely blended.
Add a little milk or cream. Adding a small amount of milk or cream to the eggs can help make the omelette lighter and fluffier.
Don't overbeat the eggs. While it's important to beat the eggs well, overbeating them can cause the omelette to become tough and rubbery.
Cook on low heat. Cook the omelette on low heat to prevent it from cooking too quickly, becoming dry and tough.
Use a non-stick pan. A non-stick pan will help the omelette cook evenly and prevent it from sticking, making it easier to fold and flip.
Add the filling after the eggs begin to set. Wait until the eggs have begun to set before adding any fillings. Otherwise, adding filling too soon makes the omelette heavy and difficult to fold.

You can reheat the mushroom omelette in the oven, microwave or on the stovetop.

In The Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Place the mushroom omelette on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Bake for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
