Instructions

Prepare the Mushroom Filling:
Begin by heating a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of salted butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt completely. Once the butter has melted, add 1 minced garlic clove and 2 tablespoons of chopped spring onions. Sauté the mixture for about a minute, ensuring the onions and garlic soften but do not brown. -
Cook the Mushrooms:
Add 6 to 8 sliced button mushrooms to the skillet. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking the mushrooms until they are tender, and the excess liquid released by the mushrooms has evaporated. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in 2 to 3 sprigs of chopped fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly, and set the filling aside to cool while you prepare the omelette. -
Make the Omelette:
In a bowl, whisk together 5 whole eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until the egg whites and yolks are fully combined and the mixture is smooth. -
Cook the Omelette:
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is heated, pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the pan. Allow the eggs to cook until the top sets and is no longer runny. -
Stuff the Omelette:
When the egg mixture is firm enough, spoon half of the mushroom filling onto one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling to encase it. -
Final Touches:
Let the omelette cook for a few seconds to ensure that the filling is heated through. Transfer the omelette to a serving plate. -
Repeat and Serve:
Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and mushroom filling. Serve the Herb & Cheese Mushroom Omelette hot, paired with a refreshing glass of Chickoo Banana Date Smoothie for a complete, power-packed breakfast.
Enjoy your delicious and hearty Herb & Cheese Mushroom Omelette, a perfect start to your day! This recipe offers a balance of fresh ingredients and rich flavors, making it an ideal choice for any breakfast or brunch occasion.
