Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 220 °C (convection if you have it). Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2 cm cubes.

  2. Roast the potatoes

    Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, salt and pepper on the baking sheet, in a single layer. Roast 30 min, flipping them halfway through.

  3. Prep the veggies

    Meanwhile, finely slice the onion. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp towel or paper towel, then slice them.

    Tip · Don't wash the mushrooms under running water, they soak it up and release too much juice when they cook. A quick wipe is enough.
  4. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 4 eggs into the mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and some pepper, then beat them with a fork.

  5. Sauté the onion and mushrooms

    Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 3 min, add the mushrooms and cook 6 min until the liquid cooks off. Salt, pepper, then move them to a plate without washing the skillet.

    Tip · Only salt the mushrooms once their liquid has cooked off, otherwise they boil instead of browning.
  6. Cook the omelet

    Turn the heat down to medium and pour the eggs into the skillet. Let them set for 2 min without stirring, then spread the mushrooms and onion over the omelet.

  7. Finish in the oven

    Put the skillet in the oven for 4 min, until the eggs are fully set and no longer runny in the middle. Take the potatoes out too if they're golden.

  8. Serve

    Cut the omelet in half and serve it with the roasted potatoes. Careful, the skillet handle is super hot.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. An omelet is best soft, fresh out of the pan: reheated, it turns rubbery. Make it the day you eat it, it's done in 5 minutes!
