Classic Stuffed Omelette

Fluffy omelette stuffed with sautéed mushrooms, onions, spinach and some shredded chicken served with a toasted french brioche and thin scrape of butter smeared on top!! Doesn’t that sound like a perfect weekend breakfast? For me its heaven and that too if it is a ‘breakfast on bed’ then it will make my day! 🙂

I have used Kerrygold butter for the toast coz of it’s rich buttery flavor.Once in a while you need that buttery indulgence to keep your taste buds happy!

In this recipe I have used some left over shredded chicken, you can also replace chicken with bacon bits, tofu or even ground beef.
