Description
The Spinach Mushroom Omelette is a quick, healthy, and flavorful breakfast dish made with fluffy eggs, sautéed mushrooms, fresh spinach, and optional cheese. It’s protein-packed, naturally low in carbs, and perfect for a nutritious start to your day.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
 - 1/2 cup fresh spinach
 - 1/3 cup mushrooms, sliced
 - 1 tablespoon diced onion or shallots (optional)
 - 1 small garlic clove, minced
 - 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta; optional)
 - Salt, to taste
 - Black pepper, to taste
 - 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking)
 
Instructions
Crack eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
 - Add mushrooms and sauté for 3–4 minutes until browned and softened.
 - Add garlic and onion (if using), and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
 - Add spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove mixture from pan and set aside.
 - Lightly grease the skillet again if needed. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook over medium-low heat.
 - When the eggs are nearly set but still slightly runny on top, spoon the spinach and mushroom filling over one half of the omelette.
 - Sprinkle cheese over the filling (if using), then fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
 - Cook for 1 more minute until eggs are fully set and cheese is melted.
 - Slide onto a plate and serve immediately.
 
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms like cremini or button for best texture and flavor.
 - Cook veggies first to avoid excess moisture and a soggy omelette.
 - Whisk eggs thoroughly to ensure a light, fluffy texture.
 - Optional: Cover the skillet briefly to help the top of the omelette set faster.
 - Filling can be prepped in advance and stored in the fridge for quicker mornings.
