Thai Mushroom Omelette Recipes

MUSHROOM AND CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a small bowl, and use a fork to beat them with the salt and pepper.
• Heat an 8-inch omelet pan or shallow skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the butter, let it melt and swirl the pan so it coats the bottom evenly. Pour the eggs into the pan and quickly shake and swirl so the eggs completely cover the bottom. Let the eggs firm up on the bottom, about 30 seconds, then use a rubber spatula to lift the edges of the omelet up so any uncooked egg on the top runs underneath.
• Sprinkle half of the eggs with the sauteed mushrooms and cheese and let it cook for another 30 seconds; the top should be moist but not quite runny (unless you like it runny). Flip the uncooked side of the eggs over the filling, and slide it onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
• Heat a very large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil, then the mushrooms and garlic, season with salt and pepper and saute until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms have turned nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve hot.

• Whisk the eggs with a bit of oil and season with salt, pepper and half the coriander.
• Separate the lettuce leaves, wash and shake dry.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan.
• Sauté the onion and chilli for a 5-6 minutes.
• Add the cucumber and the remaining coriander and cook for a couple minutes more.
• Add the mushrooms and warm through.
• Increase the heat and add the egg, tilting the pant to spread it evenly.
• Let sit for a couple seconds, then use a spatula to draw some of the omelette into the centre, tilting the pan so any uncooked egg runs into the space.
• When the egg sets underneath but is still a bit runny on top, tip the pan away from you and use the spatula to fold the omelette in half.
• Slide in on to a plate, cut in half and slide one piece onto a second plate.
• Serve with the lettuce and any extra coriander.
