Mushroom Omelette Recipe happens to be one of my favorite omelettes. Adding cheese to them is awesome. This is a fluffy, soft yet evenly cooked brown omelette. Have vivid memories of having mushroom cheese omelettes with my bpo- team eating at wee hours in a restaurant at Malad-orlem which has closed down now. But enjoyed them having almost every second day we relished them a lot. It’s surprising how we associate certain food with certain memories.
From then I have always made them home and enjoyed with toasted bread and tea. We make various kind of omelettes at home the one to try is frittata with various stuffing’s. I would share you the secret of making fluffy omelettes yet evenly cooked. As generally we always tend to make flat or thin omelettes. But fluffy omelettes takes omelettes to a different level making them look more appealing and tempting 🙂
You could add any veggies if your choice like capsicum, bell peppers, french fries etc. The challenge to add veggies is you would have to saute them or cook them before adding them to omelettes. Adding cheese is optional but cheese plus mushrooms just are just awesome.
For variation I have added some purple cabbage however it’s optional. You could use green chilies for spice or red chili powder or even some dash of crushed black pepper. I have used coriander leaves you could use dried herbs or basil leaves or any herb which goes well with an omelette.  To make the omelette more fluffy I always add some milk that is optional too. You could also add some garlic as they go well with mushrooms.
If you don’t like the egg odor in omelettes like me. Then add a pinch of turmeric or grated ginger this would remove the odor of egg. Try this and you and me both would be free from egg odor. I have shared my secret you share yours 😉
