Some days you wake up and everything feels effortless. This recipe is my cure for the mornings that are… NOT effortless. This Mushroom Swiss Omelette is the quick, low-carb breakfast that helps right all the wrongs that can happen between your alarm and the first meal of the day!

Instead of skipping breakfast or grabbing the first thing you see, you can spare just 15 minutes to make a filling breakfast that will make you feel like you can tackle the rest of the day! If you plan ahead and meal prep your mushrooms, you can even shave that time down to 5!

On top of being quick, healthy, low-carb, delicious, gluten-free, AND meal prep friendly, it’s easily customizable. If you know you have a whopper of a day ahead of you, you can throw in leftover protein or even lunchmeat to give yourself and extra protein boost. If you prefer a different cheese or have another sautéed/roasted/steamed vegetable sitting in the fridge, you can do use those instead! It’s the ultimate morning fix!

P.S. What’s the deal with omelet vs. omelette? I know that I’m American and should probably just spell it “mushroom swiss omelet,” but… There’s just something fancy about “omelette.” Since this recipe puts the world right side up for me again, I think I should put some respect on its name. Enjoy your omelette!

Tips for the Best Omelette

Use a small skillet for a two egg omelette. This results in the perfect thickness; if you use a large pan the omelette will be very thin and difficult to flip.
Opt for a silicone spatula over a metal spatula.
Beat the eggs well before adding to the pan, whisking the eggs makes the omelette perfectly light and fluffy.
Season the eggs before you whisk them.
Use a good heavy bottom, nonstick pan.

In a small bowl beat the eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper until the eggs and smooth and a little frothy.
Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and melt the remaining butter, tilt the pan back and forth so the bottom and sides of the pan are greased.
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan, tilt the pan back and forth so it is evenly coated. If the eggs seem to be cooking too quickly reduce the heat to medium low. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed until the eggs have almost set.
