  • 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach

  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sauté mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until browned.
  2. Add spinach to the skillet, cook until wilted, then remove vegetables and set aside.
  3. Whisk together eggs, egg whites, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  4. Pour egg mixture into the skillet over medium-low heat and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.
  5. Lift the edges of the omelet to let uncooked egg flow underneath and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add the mushroom and spinach mixture and cheese to one half of the omelet.
  7. Fold the omelet over the filling, cook for 1 minute until cheese is melted, and serve.

Notes

Ensure the skillet is non-stick to make folding the omelet easier.
