    Ingredients

    • Eggs — 4
    • Button mushrooms — 200g (7 oz)
    • Tomatoes — 150g (5 oz)
    • Spinach or parsley — 20g (3/4 oz)
    • Garlic — 2 cloves
    • Vegetable oil — 1 tbsp
    • Butter — 10g (2 tsp)
    • Salt — 1/2 tsp (to taste)
    • Ground black pepper — 1/4 tsp

    Step-by-Step Recipe

    1. Prepare the ingredients: slice the mushrooms, dice the tomatoes into small cubes, roughly chop the herbs, and finely mince the garlic.
    2. Heat a skillet with the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the mushrooms for 4–5 minutes, until their moisture evaporates and they take on a light golden color.
    3. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
    4. Stir in the tomatoes and herbs, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 1–2 minutes. Transfer the filling to a plate.
    5. Whisk the eggs with 1/4 tsp salt until smooth and evenly combined.
    6. In a clean skillet, melt the butter. Pour in the eggs, tilt the pan to spread them into a thin, even layer, and cook over medium heat until the base is set while the top remains slightly moist.
    7. Spoon the mushroom filling evenly onto one side of the omelet.
    8. Use a spatula to roll the omelet into a log, then brown it on all sides for another 30–60 seconds.
    9. Remove from the heat, let it rest for a minute, slice, and serve hot.

    Tips and Variations

    • Any mushrooms work well here: button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, or a mix of wild mushrooms (wild mushrooms should be parboiled first, then sautéed).
    • For a softer texture, add 1–2 tbsp of milk or cream to the eggs.
    • Want a little heat? Finish the filling with chili flakes or smoked paprika.
    • A 9–9.5 inch nonstick skillet is the ideal size.
    • To keep the roll from tearing, don’t overfill it and roll while the top of the omelet is still just slightly moist.

    What to Serve With It

    • A green salad and a slice of whole-grain toast.
    • Choose a sauce: sour cream with herbs, plain yogurt sauce, or tomato salsa.
    • Add a slice of avocado or fresh cucumber for extra freshness.

    FAQ

    Can I swap button mushrooms for wild mushrooms?
    Yes, but they should be parboiled first and then cooked thoroughly until tender.

    The omelet tears when I roll it — what should I do?
    Take it off the heat a little earlier so the top stays just slightly moist. Also, use less filling and help it along with a spatula.

    Can I make it without butter?
    Yes, use only vegetable oil and a good nonstick skillet. Butter adds flavor and color, but it isn’t essential.

    How do I store leftovers?
    Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently over low heat under a lid, or briefly in the microwave.

    Can I replace the tomatoes?
    Yes, use sweet bell pepper or zucchini, diced small and lightly sautéed.
