- 1/4 cup (40 grams) sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) chopped spinach
Cooking and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Vigorously whisk eggs with salt and pepper until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melting butter evenly across the surface.
- Gently introduce sliced mushrooms into the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
- Add fresh spinach leaves to the mushrooms, cooking until leaves wilt and reduce in volume.
- Distribute the mushroom and spinach mixture uniformly across the pan’s surface.
- Carefully cascade the whisked eggs over the vegetables, ensuring complete coverage.
- Allow eggs to set gradually, monitoring heat to prevent burning and promote even cooking.
- When edges appear firm and center becomes slightly solid, use a spatula to gently lift and check golden-brown coloration underneath.
- Execute a precise fold, creating a half-moon shaped omelette with vegetables nestled inside.
- Transfer immediately to a warm plate, serving while the eggs remain tender and vegetables retain their vibrant texture.
Notes
- Quickly sauté mushrooms and spinach until they release moisture, preventing a soggy omelette base.
- Use a silicone spatula to gently lift edges while cooking, ensuring even heat distribution and preventing sticking.
- For dairy-free version, swap butter with coconut oil or olive oil to maintain keto-friendly approach.
- Enhance flavor by adding a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese before folding for extra richness and protein boost.
