Mushroom and Spinach Omelette Recipe
Cheese Spinach and Mushroom Omelette
Ingredients You'll Need
Let's Get Started!
- In a glass bowl, crack open the 2 Large Eggs. Remember, the fresher the better! Add in about 10ml of water into it. This is a great way to ensure you get a more fluffy looking Omelette. Beat the eggs properly until its properly mixed together. Season with some Sea Salt and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- We want about 1/4 cup worth of chopped up veggies per 2 Large Eggs. This will make a good ratio for this recipe. Get yourself a non-stick skillet or pan. Drizzle in some Extra Virgin Olive Oil and start to sauté the Mushrooms on medium heat with a small pinch of Salt. This will help draw out any extra water from the Mushrooms to give us better flavour.
- After a few short minutes, add in the Red Onions and Baby Spinach to the pan and let these cook for 2-3 minutes. Once the veggies are cooked, take them out and keep them aside while we make the Omelette.
- Once the Eggs have been resting for around 10 to 12 minutes, it’s time to turn them into delicious Omelettes! Clean up your Skillet/pan with a tissue to remove any excess oil residue. Drizzle in some Olive Oil or even a small amount of Unsalted Butter if you prefer. On a medium low heat pour in the beaten Eggs. Be sure to spread any uncooked liquid Egg around evenly to make sure it gets cooked out properly.
- Once you start to get some golden and slightly crispy edges, on one half of the Eggs, put the veggies that we cooked earlier into the pan and top it with the shredded Cheddar Cheese. Let this cook until the Cheese has melted, fold the other half of the Omelette over and you’ll be ready to enjoy a yummy high protein meal that’s quick and easy to make. Don’t forget to share this with your friends and family! Enjoy.
