Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- pinch of salt
- 2 tsps plus 1 tsp butter
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 125g mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsps Cheddar cheese, grated
- chives, chopped
Method
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Whisk until well beaten, then set aside.
Step 2
Melt 2 teaspoons of the butter in a pan set over medium heat. Add the onions, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the mushrooms, and sauté until they release their juices and become soft, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Step 4
Wipe out the pan and add 1 teaspoon of butter, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan. Pour in the beaten eggs.
Step 5
When the edges begin to set, run a spatula around the circumference, pushing the edge aside slightly, and tilting the pan to let any uncooked egg run under the omelette.
Step 6
When the surface of the egg is almost set, top half of the omelette with the sautéed mushrooms and onions. Sprinkle evenly with the cheese.
Step 7
Use a spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
Step 8
Gently flip the omelette and cook for another minute, until the cheese melts and the egg is set.
Step 9
Transfer to a plate and garnish with freshly snipped chives.
