Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 large handful of fresh spinach (it wilts down a lot!)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or feta, if you're feeling fancy)
- 1 tablespoon butter or avocado oil
- A splash of heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk (optional, for fluffiness)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep Your Veggies: First things first, get your mushrooms sliced and give that spinach a quick rinse. Pat the spinach dry with a paper towel - this helps prevent a watery omelette. Nobody wants that!
- Sauté the Goodness: Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once it's sizzling a bit, toss in the sliced mushrooms. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes until they get nice and golden brown. Then, add the spinach and cook for another minute or two, just until it wilts. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper and transfer the veggies to a small bowl.
- Whisk the Eggs: While the pan is empty, crack your eggs into a separate bowl. Add that optional splash of cream, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Now whisk them like you mean it! The more air you whip in, the fluffier your omelette will be.
- Cook the Omelette: Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet (add a little more butter if needed) over medium-low heat. Let it cook for a couple of minutes. As the edges start to set, gently push them toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan, so the uncooked egg flows underneath.
- Add the Fillings u0026 Fold: Once the omelette is mostly set but still a little wet on top, sprinkle the cooked mushrooms, spinach, and shredded cheese over one half. Carefully fold the other half over the filling. Let it cook for one more minute to get that cheese all melty and perfect.
- Serve and Enjoy!: Gently slide your beautiful omelette onto a plate. I love to top mine with a little fresh parsley or some sliced avocado. Dig in!
