The method
Step by step
- 1
Whisk the eggs and milk (if using) in a medium bowl until well combined and slightly frothy, then season with salt and black pepper.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Whisking thoroughly incorporates air, making the omelette fluffier.
- 2
Heat half of the butter in a 20-22 cm non-stick frying pan over medium heat until melted and sizzling.
About 1 min
- 3
Add the sliced button mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they are tender and have released their liquid.
About 4 min
- 4
Remove the cooked mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
- 5
Add the remaining butter to the same pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
- 6
Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan.
- 7
As the edges begin to set, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: This technique creates a soft, custardy omelette.
- 8
When the top is mostly set but still slightly moist, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and sautéed mushrooms over one half of the omelette.
- 9
Fold the empty half of the omelette over the filling.
- 10
Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
