To little turtle - maybe the heat of the pan was too high? The mushrooms and onions should give off a little water, which, along with the butter, forms a thick sauce. If you like the idea of the recipe - try it again with the pan on a lower heat. Hope this helps!

I cut the recipe back to 2 eggs and cut the other ingredients accordingly. I used Hungarian Hot had no trouble with the paprika(about 2 tbsp) clumping. It gave a great flavor to the omelete. Served with hot Hungarian smoked sausage & toast. Lovely brunch, thanks Laurie

I followed the directions exactly and this didn't work for me. When I added the paprika it soaked up all of the butter and clumped up and burned. I think there was just too much paprika and it might have worked with half the amount, but as it was the end result was inedible. Sorry.
