How to Make a Ham Mushroom and Cheese Omelette

Omelettes are such a great cooked breakfast or lunch, really filling and healthy too. There are lots of variations like a soufflé omelette or frittata but today I am looking at a really easy omelette you can whip up quickly.

Omelette with cheese, ham and mushrooms

The mail ingredients you always need for an omelette is eggs and after that its really up to you what else you include. My favourite at the moment is ham, cheese and mushrooms.

Cooking a really easy Omelette

I like to use 3 small eggs for an omelette, no milk, cream or other additions just whole eggs beaten. I then season the eggs after beating them.

You want to have a frying pan on a high heat with some butter or frylight. Then you add the eggs, making sure they cover the whole of the pan base. At this point I turn the heat down to medium.

Once the edges start to set (see above photo) you are ready to add your fillings.

Omelette fillings

Omelette fillings so versatile some of my favourites:

Just herbs
Cheese & onion
Tomato & basil
Mushroom, ham & cheese
Bacon & cheese
Salmon, cream cheese & chives

You need to have your fillings prepared and ready waiting to be added before you cook the eggs. So once the eggs are ready you can add he ham and mushrooms. Then top with the cheese.

I tend to use a handful of grated cheddar cheese for my omelettes.

Once you have added the fillings after around 30 seconds you can flip one half over to top the fillings. I like to cook for another 30 seconds to give the cheese time to melt before serving.

Or try a skinny herby omelette?

Another favourite of mine at the moment is the skinny herby omelette, this one is really healthy. Just eggs, parsley, chives and basil. With herbs I mix them into the beaten eggs.

If you want super healthy omelettes you can just use the egg whites but I prefer using the whole egg.
