Mushroom Omelet with Goat Cheese

This Mushroom Omelet with Goat Cheese tastes heavenly and it’s perfect for a brunch date! It also makes a filling and satisfying meatless meal option for dinner.

Omelets are one of my favorite savory breakfast foods. Eggs are super nutritious and packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals. Plus, omelets are also low-carb and gluten-free. That is why I try to enjoy an omelet at least once a week, and this omelette with mushrooms and goat cheese is my personal favorite!

This easy omelet is made in one pan, with mushrooms and garlic cooked into the eggs rather than cooked separately to use as a filling. It is quicker and easier to prepare the omelet this way and it also results in a better distribution of the ingredients and flavor. I made my mushroom omelette with goat cheese because I think that they complement one another. I love the creamy texture of goat cheese. However, you can easily use a different kind of cheese if you would prefer.

Omelet or Omelette

Do you use the spelling omelette or omelet? You might notice that I have used both spellings. So, which is correct? The answer is both, depending on where you are from. “Omelette“ is the modern French and British spelling. Omelettes originated in France and even the French have had different variations of the word, including “amelette” and “alemette”. “Omelet” is the American English spelling that is primarily used in the United States. I am an American, however, I usually use the French spelling of the word. For this recipe, I choose to integrate both variations of the word since I have readers from around the world.

I hope that you enjoyed a little word history and spelling trivia!

Mushroom Omelette Ingredients

This mushroom omelette recipe is simple and requires few ingredients, but it really delivers on flavor!

• eggs – I use large organic cage-free brown eggs.
• mushrooms – You can use jarred or fresh sliced mushrooms. Use the mushrooms of your choice. 
• butter – unsalted
• garlic – minced
• cheese – I used crumbled goat cheese. I highly recommend it, it is creamy and pairs well with mushrooms, but you can use the cheese of your choice.
• salt and pepper – I only used salt and pepper to season the mushrooms. You can add additional salt and pepper to the finished omelette if desired.

Optional

• fresh herbs – I added chopped basil as garnish. You could also garnish with chives, parsley or other fresh herbs.

How to make an Omelet with Mushrooms and Cheese

To make an Omelet with Mushrooms and Cheese in one pan, first, you will need to sauté the mushrooms. It also helps to have all of the ingredients ready before you begin cooking.

First, heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and swirl the butter in the pan to coat. Add the mushrooms to the pan and season them with salt and pepper. Sauté the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 6 – 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic to the pan, stir and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the garlic becomes fragrant.

While the mushrooms are browning, crack 3 eggs into a bowl and beat them.

Once the mushrooms and garlic are finished, reduce the heat to low-medium. Eggs are better cooked slowly at a lower temperature.

Pour the beaten eggs into the pan over the mushrooms and garlic. Allow the eggs to set just a little, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then slightly tilt the pan and use a rubber spatula to lift the edges of the omelet, allowing the uncooked egg to run off and underneath the omelet.

Once the eggs are just set, sprinkle the cheese over the eggs down the center of the omelet and allow to heat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using the rubber spatula, carefully fold one edge of the omelet toward the center, then fold the other edge toward the center, overlapping slightly.

Remove from heat then slide onto a plate. If desired, season with additional salt and pepper and garnish with fresh herbs.
