The mushroom omelet is quite delicious in its own right. It is the perfect vegetarian substitute for people who might want a “meatier” type omelet. Mushrooms are a well-known meat substitute because they have a significant protein content and they are very chewy. This is sometimes a quality that is overlooked in meat substitutions. Mushrooms are also easily seasoned so they can taste quite similar to meat if you choose to.
