Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 medium onion
• 150 grams mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil
• 50 grams feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and black pepper, and whisk them together until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the onions and continue to sauté until the mushrooms are browned and any liquid they release has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the onion and mushroom mixture to a plate and set aside.

Step 6

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium-low heat.

Step 7

Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, allowing them to spread evenly. Cook until the edges start to set, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Scatter the onion and mushroom mixture evenly over half of the omelet. Crumble the feta cheese on top.

Step 9

Chop the parsley and basil finely and sprinkle them over the filling.

Step 10

Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Continue to cook for another minute, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.

Step 11

Carefully slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Cut it in half and serve warm.
