What type of mushrooms work best?

Button or cremini mushrooms are ideal for their mild flavor and tender texture when sautéed.

How do I prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan?

Use a non-stick skillet and heat unsalted butter over medium heat before adding ingredients to create a smooth cooking surface.

Can I use other cheese instead of Swiss?

Yes, cheeses like Gruyère or mozzarella can be used to provide a similar melt and mild flavor.

How long should I cook the mushrooms?

Sauté the sliced mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they turn golden brown and release their moisture.
