Instructions
-
Heat the Olive Oil
Start by heating 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet over low heat. Make sure the pan is warm before proceeding. -
Cook the Mushrooms
Add the mushrooms (about 16 oz or 2 cups) whole into the pan. Let them cook for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their juices. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. -
Season the Mushrooms
Once the mushrooms are tender, season them with pepper to taste. This adds depth to the flavor of the mushrooms. After seasoning, remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside. -
Prepare the Eggs
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This will create a smooth mixture for your omelette. -
Cook the Eggs
Return the skillet to the heat and pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Cook over low heat, stirring gently. As the eggs begin to form curds, stop stirring and let them sit undisturbed. This will allow them to set without becoming too dry. -
Assemble the Omelette
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle half of the feta cheese over the eggs. Then, layer the cooked mushrooms, followed by slices of fresh avocado. Top with the remaining feta cheese and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. -
Finish Cooking
Allow the omelette to cook over low heat for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. The cheese will melt, and the avocado will warm slightly, adding a creamy texture. -
Serve and Enjoy
Slide the omelette onto plates, dividing it evenly between two servings. Enjoy it hot with a side of toast or fresh greens for a complete meal.
This Open-Faced Omelette for Two is perfect for any meal of the day. Whether you’re looking for a nourishing breakfast or a light, protein-packed lunch, this dish is quick to prepare and can be customized with your favorite toppings. The combination of feta, mushrooms, and avocado creates a rich, flavorful bite, while the eggs provide plenty of protein to keep you full.
