Instructions
- In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the spinach wilts down.
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and pepper until well blended.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, ensuring they evenly coat the spinach and mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Gently fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese, creating a half-moon shape.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
- Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with additional pepper or fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sautéed mushrooms.
- Feel free to customize your omelette by incorporating other vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes.
- For a creamier texture, whisk in a tablespoon of milk or cream with the eggs before cooking.
