Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
• 1 cup, sliced mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully blended and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until they are translucent.

Step 3

Add the sliced mushrooms to the onions in the skillet and continue to sauté for another 4-5 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. Remove the onion and mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling gently to ensure an even layer across the bottom.

Step 5

Allow the eggs to cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to set, then sprinkle the onion and mushroom mixture evenly over one half of the omelet.

Step 6

Add the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the onion and mushroom mixture.

Step 7

Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling, using a spatula to help fold it neatly. Allow it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and make sure the eggs are fully set.

Step 8

Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
