Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Button mushrooms, sliced
- 0.25 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the egg whites. Whisk together until the yolks and whites are fully combined and appear frothy.
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir again to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes or until they are softened and lightly browned.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until it is wilted. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet, spreading it evenly across the surface. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Add the cooked spinach and mushrooms evenly over one half of the omelet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the vegetables.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the eggs are cooked through.
Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with the chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein, classic egg omelet.
