Cheesy Mushroom Omelette is one of the most filling and delicious egg dishes. It is an exciting combination of eggs and mushrooms for breakfast. Further, cheese makes it even more delicious.


But mushrooms are not very much wanted unless you are an American. So why not try out making it? You are not going to get disappointed. It is easy, quick, and something new to have.

Few Tips

  • Greens – We can add green vegetables like spinach, asparagus, broccoli, and kale to the omelette. Or even leek and scallions will do.
  • Cooking Mushrooms – Do not add any liquid while cooking them. They have enough water content of their own. Hence they will get cooked in their water.
  • Herbs – You can add any herb that goes well in an omelette. Dried thyme, parsley, basil, or even chopped coriander (for Indians especially) are great to use.
  • Meat – Just like the green vegetables, you can add shredded boiled chicken, pieces of cooked fish or some beacon. Cooked and chopped prawns will be the best option here.
  • Lactose – We are not adding milk as it is. You can replace the cheese with vegan cheese if you want a dairy-free recipe.
  • Serving – This dish is filling as it is. However, you can serve it with some toast, chai, juice or coffee if you have it for breakfast. Moreover, a salad will go with it if you eat it during lunch.
  • Pan – It is necessary to use a bigger pan to cook mushrooms to get enough space. Or else, I will steam them instead of frying them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cheese like cheddar, gruyere, and mozzarella is preferable in the omelette. They melt well in the omelette. However, you can also use parmesan, feta, and manchego are good as well. They will work on the recipe as well.

Is it okay to add milk to the omelette?

If you search the internet for this recipe, you will find that milk is added to many versions of the recipes. It is to make the omelette moist and fluffier. However, it is not necessarily true.

Can I put baking powder in the omelette?

Recently, people have started using baking powder in omelettes to make them fluffier. And it has helped them achieve results. However, we would not recommend you to try it. Adding this ingredient may change the texture of the omelette. Also, the flavour of the omelette might be weird too.

We prefer eggs for breakfast. So, we have several egg dishes like scrambled eggs, masala egg fry, oats scrambled egg, egg mayo sandwich, and the famous anda bhurji in the morning.
