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.
