Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and frothy. Set aside.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once the bacon is cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the skillet, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  4. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms to the bacon fat. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender and browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Lower the heat to medium and pour the whisked egg mixture over the sautéed mushrooms. Gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
  6. After about 2-3 minutes, sprinkle the crispy bacon over half of the omelette, followed by the shredded cheese.
  7. When the eggs are just set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the omelette in half to cover the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked but not dry.
  8. Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
