Savory Spinach and Mushroom Omelette
Yield: 2 servings | Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup low-fat cheese (like feta or mozzarella)
Directions:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed vegetables, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- If using cheese, sprinkle it on one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half over the cheese and cook for another minute, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half, and serve warm.
