Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the mushrooms and shallot mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Wipe the skillet clean if necessary. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.

Cook the omelette, gently pushing the cooked edges towards the center and tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until the omelette is almost set but still slightly moist on top.

Spoon the mushroom and shallot mixture over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese and chopped parsley.

Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Cook for another minute until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
