Ingredients
large eggs
5 (beaten)
salt
to taste
pepper
to taste
vegetable oil
1/4 cup (divided)
mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon
garlic clove
1 (chopped)
medium mushrooms
4-6 (sliced)
scallions
3 (cut into fine rounds (white and green parts))
fresh hot green chili pepper
1 (cut into fine rounds)
chopped cilantro
4 tablespoons
grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon
canned chopped tomato
1/4 cup (lightly drained (or double for fresh tomatoes))
Instructions
1
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until the eggs are well beaten. Pour the mixture into a glass measuring cup for easy pouring.
2
For the filling, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium frying pan over high heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and let them pop, which should only take a few seconds.
3
Quickly add the chopped garlic and stir for a few seconds until it becomes golden brown. Then add in the sliced mushrooms, cooking until they soften and no longer appear raw.
4
Reduce the heat to medium and mix in the scallions, green chili, cilantro, and ginger. Stir the mixture until just wilted, about one minute.
5
Add the chopped tomatoes along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for another 30 seconds or until the mixture is heated through and the tomatoes aren’t watery. Turn off the heat and set aside.
6
In a separate 7-inch nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Once hot, pour half of the beaten egg mixture into the pan.
7
Using a wooden spoon or the back of a fork, gently stir the eggs for 3-4 seconds, allowing them to form soft custard-like lumps that are still holding together.
8
Spread half of the mushroom filling down the center of the omelet and carefully fold it over, cooking for a few additional seconds.
9
Gently flip the omelet onto a warm plate. Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and filling for the second omelet.
10
Serve the omelets immediately while they’re warm for a delicious and hearty breakfast.
