Melt butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; sauté mushrooms, onion, garlic and thyme 4 minutes, until tender. Stir in mustard and season with salt and pepper; remove from heat.
In medium bowl, whisk eggs, parsley and 1/4 cup cheese until mixed. In same skillet, melt 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat and add half the egg mixture. Tilt pan or spread eggs to cover bottom of pan. Cook until set, lifting omelet with rubber spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Comments: Dried mushrooms may be easier to find than fresh wild mushrooms, and they're available all year. To use rinse, soak in warm water for 20 minutes and squeeze dry. Strain the soaking liquid and use to flavor soups and sauces.
