In France, omelet is a popular dish not only in home cooking, but also in many restaurants and cafes. They serve a classic omelette consisting only of eggs and butter. A popular dish is an omelette with cheese, herbs, and vegetables. But an omelet with mushrooms is a purely Russian invention.
It so happened that not only the French, who came up with the idea of creating an omelette, taught Russian chefs how to cook. Now many native Russian dishes are prepared in European restaurants, and they have great success there. So, for example, mushroom dishes are traditionally Russian cuisine; mushrooms were a classic ingredient in ancient Russian cooking long before the Baptism of Rus'. Mushrooms as an ingredient became popular in France precisely due to the influence of Russian cuisine.
Mushroom omelet - basic technological principles
Omelet is the easiest dish to prepare. It is enough to take fresh and always chilled eggs, beat them and fry them in a frying pan, bake them in the oven or in a slow cooker. Of course, there are some subtleties that need to be taken into account, say, when beating eggs, or when preparing mushrooms, but these techniques for preparing an omelet with mushrooms are not at all difficult to remember and repeat.
Mushrooms
Let us remind you that you can only eat well-known mushrooms, collected far from city limits, roads, industrial enterprises, and it is better not to buy them in spontaneous markets. The next important point: mushrooms need to be carefully sorted, discarding suspicious and wormy ones. Afterwards there is mandatory heat treatment. After sorting and washing, the mushrooms are boiled for at least forty minutes, then the water is drained, washed, and only after that they are used in cooking. It is important to take all precautions to protect yourself and not get poisoned.
Champignons and oyster mushrooms grown in greenhouse conditions do not need to be cooked after washing and sorting. Such mushrooms go through all stages of verification before entering the retail chain.
Sponge mushrooms are most suitable for making omelettes: porcini and boletus. But you can use young and small lamellar mushrooms, with an unopened cap.
It is better to cut mushrooms for omelettes into small cubes or very thin slices. Large cuts are not suitable, as they will be dissonant with the delicate and soft consistency of the beaten eggs, given the texture of the mushrooms.
Eggs
Any poultry eggs are suitable for an omelet. The only condition is freshness. There is an opinion that quail eggs are more useful than chicken eggs. In fact, without delving into a detailed biochemical analysis, we note that a chicken egg has 2.5 times less cholesterol than a quail egg, and, on the contrary, more vitamin D. So, if we talk about a dietary omelet, the primacy here belongs to chicken eggs. Although, from a culinary point of view, quail and other poultry eggs allow you to create varied and interesting dishes. For an omelet, you can even mix quail and chicken eggs.
It is important to beat the eggs correctly so that the omelette has a fluffy, porous structure. To do this, you need to remember that eggs beat better when chilled. Therefore, they must be placed in the refrigerator before beating. The container for beating eggs must be dry and perfectly clean. It is advisable to use a stainless steel bowl for whipping, which is also better to cool, along with the eggs.
When it comes to the various additional ingredients for preparing a mushroom omelet, there are thousands of options, so it would be wise to give simple advice: follow your taste.

Remember that same porous, soft and tender omelet that was often served for breakfast in school canteens.
It would seem that the ingredients are still the same, but slightly different proportions and frying temperature will do the trick. Many may think that it is impossible to replicate the skills of chefs at home, but in reality this is not the case.

Cooking method:
1. Take a fireproof oven dish and grease it, its surface and walls with butter.
2. Break the eggs in a bowl, add cold milk and beat well with a fork or a regular whisk until smooth, add salt to your taste, or pepper.
3. Bake only in a preheated oven to 200 degrees for half an hour. It will rise in the oven.

Using a slow cooker to prepare a mushroom omelet
To quickly prepare an omelet with mushrooms, use a slow cooker. When preparing this type of omelet, you will need a small piece of chicken, eggs, milk and mushrooms.
Break three eggs and mix them with a fork in a bowl. Salt the mixture and add milk to it. Take boiled chicken meat and cut it into small layers with a sharp knife. It will be better if you give preference to white chicken breast meat. It has a slightly larger area than other parts. Thanks to this you will get even and wide layers.
Place a layer of several pieces of meat in a multicooker bowl. Place finely chopped boiled mushrooms on top. Fill the resulting layers with the egg-milk mixture. Set the appliance to baking mode and place the dish in it. As soon as the multicooker beeps, you can remove the omelette with chicken and mushrooms from it. Serve by cutting the product into pieces.
Cooking an egg dish in a frying pan
An omelette in a frying pan is not as fluffy as in the oven. That is why this cooking recipe is slightly different from the previous one. If all conditions are met, you will receive a thin layer of omelet, inside of which there will be aromatic and tasty mushrooms.
Take the cooked mushrooms and fry them in a frying pan with the addition of finely chopped onions. Beat three eggs with milk and salt in a blender or using a mixer. Pour the egg mixture into a hot, clean frying pan and cover with a lid. Cook the omelette in a frying pan for 7 minutes, then carefully turn the dish over and place the mushrooms on it. Wait another three minutes and fold the mushroom and egg cake in half. When serving, add a sprig of herbs to the dish.
