Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster)
• 1 large shallot
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients: Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly. Peel and finely chop the shallot. Shred the Gruyère cheese and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender. Remove the cooked mushrooms and shallots from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Wipe the skillet clean and return it to low-medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, coating the bottom of the skillet evenly.

Step 6

Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to create an even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the omelet begins to set around the edges but is still slightly runny in the center.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the cooked mushrooms, shallots, and shredded Gruyère cheese over one side of the omelet. Fold the other side over the filling using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds or until the cheese begins to melt.

Step 8

Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped parsley. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture and filling to make the second omelet.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, flavorful Wild Mushrooms, Shallot, and Gruyère Omelets!
