I love making spinach mushroom omelettes for breakfast. They’re not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. The combination of earthy mushrooms, nutritious spinach, and creamy eggs creates a satisfying and wholesome meal to start the day.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup of fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup of shredded cheese (I prefer using cheddar)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
First, I heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Then, I add the mushrooms and sauté them until they’re golden brown and tender. Next, I add the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts.
While the vegetables are cooking, I whisk the eggs in a bowl and season them with salt and pepper. Once the spinach and mushrooms are ready, I pour the eggs over the mixture in the skillet.
I let the omelette cook undisturbed until the edges start to set. Then, I gently lift the edges with a spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the bottom of the skillet. Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, I sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette.
Using the spatula, I carefully fold the omelette in half to cover the cheese. I let it cook for another minute until the cheese is melted, and then slide it onto a plate.
Personal Touch
I enjoy serving the spinach mushroom omelette with a side of fresh avocado slices and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick. The combination of creamy omelette, buttery avocado, and spicy pepper flakes creates a perfect harmony of flavors.
Commentary
There’s something incredibly satisfying about cooking a perfect omelette. The process of sautéing the veggies, whisking the eggs, and carefully folding the omelette requires attention to detail and patience. The reward is a hearty and wholesome meal that never fails to impress.
Conclusion
Making a spinach mushroom omelette has become a beloved breakfast ritual for me. It’s a simple yet flavorful dish that never disappoints. Whether enjoyed alone or with loved ones, this omelette is a delightful way to kickstart the day with a nutritious and fulfilling meal.
