Breakfast Day 4: Spicy Mushroom Omelette

Mushrooms and Eggs go very well together. A hot omelette with mushrooms and onions can be the most satisfying breakfast on a chilly winter morning. For overnight trips, me and hubby prefer hotels providing hot continental breakfasts. For ovo-vegetarians like us, this is the go-to item at such places. My usual order- medium done omelette with mushrooms, onions and jalapenos..yum yum. Later on, I started making this at home and this became our 'must make at-least once a week' breakfast items!


Ingredients:
(Serves 2)

3 eggs
5-6 baby bella mushrooms (chopped in quarters)
2 thai chillies
1/2 cup red onions- chopped finely
1 tsp grated ginger
Crushed black pepper - to taste
Oil-1 tbsp
green onions 1/2 cup finely chopped (optional)
Salt to taste

Method:


  1. In a medium sized pan, heat 1 tsp oil and saute green chilies and mushrooms for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Remove mushrooms from the pan and add the remaining oil to the pan.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk 3 eggs. Add salt, red onions, green onions and crushed ginger.
  4. Slowly pour in the egg mixture on the pan.
  5. Spread the sauteed mushrooms over the egg mixture, cover and cool on low to medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  6. Remove the cover and flip the omelette.
  7. Turn off the heat, the pan will be hot enough to cook the other side.
  8. Add crushed pepper on top and serve the sizzling hot omelette with butter toasts!
