Omelet is the dish that always helps out the housewife when she needs to quickly prepare a hearty breakfast, dinner, or feed her friends who unexpectedly drop by.
Omelette can be prepared either from eggs alone or with the addition of various products. Most often it is made with onions, sausages, tomatoes, and mushrooms. By the way, with mushrooms it turns out incredibly tasty and satisfying.
It’s not difficult to prepare an omelet, the main thing is that you need to follow certain rules.
Subtleties of cooking
You can use fresh, canned, or even dried mushrooms for the omelet.
The omelet cooks quickly, so the mushrooms must be boiled or fried when they are combined with the egg mixture, that is, completely ready for use.
Porcini mushrooms, champignons, and chanterelles can only be scalded with boiling water and fried in a frying pan. Wild mushrooms must first be boiled for 20 minutes, then fried in oil and only then combined with the omelette mixture.
Dried mushrooms must first be soaked for two hours in cold water or milk. In the second case, after heat treatment, the mushrooms acquire a fresh taste. They are boiled in the same water in which they were soaked until soft.
Omelette can be cooked in a frying pan, in the oven, in the microwave or in a slow cooker.
The egg mixture for any of these omelettes can be made according to the same scheme.
- Wash the eggs thoroughly. Break into a suitable container.
- Using a whisk or fork, stir until the yolks and whites are combined.
- Add water, milk, mayonnaise or kefir. Stir.
Tip : no need to beat the eggs with a mixer. The mixture turns out airy, but when baking or frying, such an omelette very often falls off.
The amount of liquid in a classic omelet is 15 ml per 1 egg. If you use more liquid, the omelette will be too loose and soft. When placed on a plate, it falls apart and loses its shape.

Champignons and wild mushrooms are good for omelettes.
- The champignons are cut and immediately fried. Oil is added as desired, as the product releases a lot of juice, which prevents the ingredient from burning.
- Wild mushrooms are first boiled, then cut into small pieces. To enhance the taste, fry in a small amount of oil.
If dried mushrooms are selected, they must first be filled with water or milk for 2 hours. The product should swell. Then add water and cook over low heat until soft.
During the cooking process, follow simple recommendations.
- The omelet cooks quickly, so keep an eye on its condition. If you miss the moment, it will instantly burn.
