This six-ingredient mushroom and bacon filling can elevate a simple omelette, adding rich, savory flavor. We’ve used cremini mushrooms, which are sometimes labeled baby bella or baby portobello. These small brown mushrooms have a firm texture and earthy flavor. They’re sautéed first to brown them and remove some of their moisture. They’re widely available in most grocery stores, but if your store doesn’t carry them, you can use white button mushrooms or chopped portobellos. We’ve called for fresh thyme, but you can substitute rosemary, tarragon, basil, or oregano. Use this filling in your own omelette recipe or use ours—search the site for Basic Omelette with Fresh Herbs.
