Rinse the basmati rice in cold water in the saucepan. Add 400 ml of water, bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and let it cook covered 12 min. Turn off the heat and let it rest 5 min covered.
Tip · If you want more flavorful rice, add a pinch of salt to the cooking water before rinsing it.
Chop the onion
Peel the onion and cut it into small dice on the cutting board.
Clean the mushrooms
Give the mushrooms a quick rinse under cold water and cut them into thin slices.
Soften the onion
In the nonstick skillet, melt 10 g of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook 3 min until it turns translucent.
Cook the mushrooms
Add the mushrooms to the skillet with the onion. Cook over medium heat 5 min, stirring with the wooden spoon, until they've released their water and turned golden.
Prep the eggs
In a bowl, beat the 4 eggs with a fork. Salt and pepper lightly. Add half of the chopped parsley.
Bring it together
Pour the beaten eggs over the mushrooms in the skillet. Let it cook over low heat 2 min without touching, then stir gently with the wooden spoon for a soft, creamy texture.
Tip · For a really soft omelet, pull it off the heat while the top is still a little runny: it'll keep cooking off the heat.
Serve the omelet
Divide the soft omelet between two plates. Add the cooked basmati rice on the side and sprinkle with the rest of the chopped parsley.

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!
