7) Mushroom omelet
There’s no better cheese to flavor an omelette than Gruyere cheese. I have two mushroom omelet recipes with Gruyere cheese. In this recipe for an omelet with chanterelle mushrooms, the cheese is added directly to the egg batter. In the second recipe (shown below), the omelet is more fluffy thanks to beaten egg whites, and the cheese is added to sauteed mushrooms. Both are VERY good, I LOVE these for breakfast.

Ingredients
- 2 large slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons soft butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon mayo
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- salt and pepper
- 2/3 cup (70g) shredded Gruyere cheese at room temperature!
- 2 slices ham
- 1 tablespoon soft butter for cooking the sandwich
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soft butter, mustard, mayo, and honey. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spread one side of each slice of bread with the butter spread.
Top each slice with 1/3 cup of shredded cheese and a slice of ham.
Put one slice of bread on top of the other to create a sandwich (cheese and ham should be inside the sandwich).
Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of plain butter on the outside of the sandwich (both sides).
Cook the sandwich in a non-stick pan or put it in a panini press until the outside is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If cooking the sandwich on the stovetop make sure to cook it over medium-low/low heat so that the cheese have time to melt. If the cheese is not entirely melted but the sandwich is already browned, you can put your sandwich for 1-2 minutes in a 350°F (180°C) oven.
Enjoy!
