20g Protein Mushroom Omelette – French Breakfast Delight

mushroom omelette

A simple and delicious mushroom omelette recipe that’s perfect for a high-protein breakfast or a quick meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk (or water)
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter (divided)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ½ tbsp butter and sauté the mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until browned. Stir in thyme and a pinch of salt, then remove mushrooms to a plate.
  2. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Wipe the pan if needed, then melt the remaining ½ tbsp butter over medium-low heat.
  4. Pour in the eggs. Let them set for 20–30 seconds, then gently push the edges toward the center while tilting the pan so uncooked egg flows outward.
  5. When the top is mostly set but still slightly glossy, add the mushrooms over one half.
  6. Fold the omelette over, cook 30–60 seconds more, then slide onto a plate. Garnish with extra thyme and herbs.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • For a richer omelette, substitute milk with cream.
