1 piece (medium) of Mushroom Omelette (2 Eggs) (140 g) has 168 calories. That works out to 120 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.8 g of carbs, 13.6 g of protein, 10.8 g of fat and 1.5 g of fiber. Its 25.2 µg of Biotin covers 84% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 20 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A mushroom omelette (2 eggs) is made by cooking sliced mushrooms with beaten eggs, then often folding the set egg into a soft half-moon. It is a familiar home-cooked dish rather than one tied to a single place, and appears on breakfast and brunch menus in many countries.
The eggs are tender and mild, while the mushrooms bring a savoury, earthy note. Serve it hot with toast or a simple salad; fresh herbs work well too. Eggs make it a protein-rich choice, and mushrooms contribute a little fibre and minerals. For a lighter plate, cook it with only a little oil and pair it with vegetables.

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 liquid has evaporated. Beat the two eggs, pour them over the mushrooms, and cook over medium-low heat until just set. Fold the omelette and serve while warm.
Yes, cook the mushrooms first. Raw mushrooms release water as they heat, which can make the eggs watery and unevenly cooked. Sauté them until tender and their liquid has evaporated, then add the beaten eggs to the pan.
A mushroom omelette turns watery when the mushrooms release liquid into the eggs before it evaporates. Use a roomy, hot pan, avoid crowding the mushrooms, and cook them until dry before adding the eggs.
Button mushrooms are a reliable choice because they cook quickly and have a mild flavor. Cremini mushrooms bring a deeper, earthier taste, while oyster mushrooms also work well when sliced and cooked until their moisture has evaporated.
Yes, cheese pairs well with mushrooms in a two-egg omelette. Add grated cheddar or another melting cheese after pouring in the eggs, then fold the omelette once the cheese has softened and the eggs are nearly set.
Serve a mushroom omelette with toast and a simple salad or sliced tomatoes. For a heartier brunch, add roasted potatoes; fresh herbs such as chives or parsley make a useful finishing touch without overpowering the mushrooms.
Yes, milk is not needed for a mushroom omelette. Beat the eggs until the whites and yolks are combined, then cook them with the sautéed mushrooms; adding milk can make the mixture looser rather than fluffier.
Yes, canned mushrooms work in a mushroom omelette, though their flavor and texture are usually milder than fresh mushrooms. Drain them well and briefly sauté them first so excess liquid does not seep into the eggs.
Yes, refrigerate leftover mushroom omelette in a covered container once it has cooled. Reheat it in a pan over low heat until hot throughout; reheating gently helps keep the eggs from becoming rubbery.
It can be a filling breakfast because eggs provide protein and mushrooms add bulk and flavor. For a lighter meal, cook it with a modest amount of oil and serve it with vegetables rather than a large, rich side.
