Mushroom and Cheese Omelette

Omelette is a simple and very adaptable dish. One can make it in so many ways. This mushroom and cheese omelette is my personal favorite. It's a perfect brunch idea for a lazy weekend. Mushrooms cook faster and it will not take more than 20 mins to prepare this stuffed omelette. So here is a quick, filling breakfast idea to try this weekend.


Ingredients:
Button mushrooms: 8-10
Onion: 1
Garlic :3-4 cloves
Green chillies: 2
Crushed black pepper: 1 tsp
Dried Oregano leaves: 1 tsp
Coriander leaves: 2 tbsp
Grated cheese: 1/2 cup
Eggs : 3
Milk: 2 tsp
Salt to taste
Olive oil: 2 tbsp

Method:
1. Heat 1.5 tbsp of oil in a pan and add finely chopped garlic and green chillies. Sauté for 30 seconds.

2. Add thinly sliced onions and salt, sauté until onions turn translucent.

3. Add dried oregano and crushed pepper and mix well. Mix in sliced button mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are done. Turn off and let it cool down.

4. Once it's a bit cool, add coriander leaves and grated cheese and the mushroom topping is ready. (I used cheddar cheese).

5. For the omelette, beat the eggs in a bowl along with milk, salt, a pinch of oregano and crushed pepper.

6. Heat the remaining oil in a pan and pour the eggs, simmer the flame and cover with lid.

7. Once the egg is firm carefully flip the omelette. Flip it back after a min. Now add the mushroom and cheese masala on top and cook it covered for another minute. Turn off the flame. 

8. You can fold it and serve just the omelette or make slices and serve with bread.



Notes
I have used cheddar cheese, you can use any other cheese or combination of cheeses.

I usually flip the omelette but you can skip it and top with mushroom masala once the omelette is dried on top.
