Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

Cooking
  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 and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted, then remove vegetables and set aside.
  3. Whisk together eggs, egg whites, salt, and black 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 allow uncooked egg to flow underneath and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add the sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and cheese to one half of the omelet.
  7. Fold the omelet over the filling and cook for 1 additional minute until the cheese melts.

Notes

Ensure the mushrooms are fully browned for better flavor. Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking.
