1 piece (medium) of Egg and mushroom omelette (120 g) has 132 calories. That works out to 110 calories per 100 g. It contains 3 g of carbs, 10.4 g of protein, 8.6 g of fat and 1.3 g of fiber. Its 19.2 µg of Biotin covers 64% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 20 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Egg and mushroom omelette brings together beaten eggs and mushrooms, usually sautéed briefly before the eggs are added. It is a simple home-cooked dish rather than a recipe tied to one particular region, and can be folded into a thick omelette or left open-faced.
The eggs make a soft, tender base, while browned mushrooms add savoury, earthy notes and a little bite. It works for breakfast or brunch with toast, or as a quick lunch with salad; in many places, it is also an easy weeknight meal. With 8.7 g of protein per 100 g, it is a filling choice, and mushrooms contribute some fibre and minerals. Use a non-stick pan and just a little oil for a lighter version, or add herbs for freshness.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Cook sliced mushrooms in a lightly oiled pan until their released moisture evaporates, then pour in beaten eggs. As the eggs set, lift the edges so uncooked egg flows underneath, then fold and serve.
Yes. Cook the mushrooms first so they release moisture and brown rather than steaming inside the eggs. This keeps an egg and mushroom omelette from turning watery and makes the filling more flavorful.
To prevent a watery egg and mushroom omelette, cook the mushrooms until their liquid has evaporated before adding the eggs. Avoid crowding the pan, since piled-up mushrooms steam and leave excess moisture.
Cremini or white button mushrooms both work well in an egg and mushroom omelette because they cook quickly and have a mild, savory flavor. Slice them evenly; larger varieties such as shiitake should be trimmed and cooked through first.
Yes, cheese pairs well with an egg and mushroom omelette. Add grated cheddar, Swiss, or goat cheese after the eggs begin to set, then fold the omelette so the cheese melts without overpowering the mushrooms.
Yes, spinach is an easy addition to an egg and mushroom omelette. Wilt it in the pan after the mushrooms have browned, and drain or cook off any liquid before adding the eggs.
An egg and mushroom omelette keeps for 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate leftovers promptly rather than leaving them out, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Yes, you can freeze an egg and mushroom omelette, although the eggs may become a little rubbery and the mushrooms softer after thawing. Freeze it in an airtight container and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
An egg and mushroom omelette goes well with a green salad, sliced tomatoes, or toast. For a more filling brunch, serve it with roasted potatoes; fresh herbs such as chives or parsley brighten the mushroom flavor.
An egg and mushroom omelette can make a filling breakfast because it provides protein, while mushrooms add bulk and fiber. Use a modest amount of cooking fat and pair it with vegetables rather than calorie-dense sides.
