🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 3 large fresh eggs
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or your favorite variety)
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 slice whole wheat bread, toasted (optional, for serving)
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Beat the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy. This aeration helps make the omelette extra light and fluffy.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook until softened, about 2–3 minutes.
Next, stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned—about 5–6 minutes. Mushrooms will release moisture, then begin to caramelize slightly.
Add the spinach leaves and stir gently until wilted, 1–2 minutes. The greens should soften while still maintaining a vibrant color.
3. Pour and Cook
Reduce heat to low and pour in the beaten eggs, spreading them evenly across the pan. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, allowing the bottom to set.
Use a spatula to gently fold the omelette, incorporating the sautéed vegetables evenly. Cook another 1–2 minutes until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
4. Season and Serve
Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve warm with toasted whole wheat bread on the side for a fiber boost.
