Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 0.25 cup sliced mushrooms
- 0.5 cup baby spinach leaves
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat until melted and beginning to bubble.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are soft and any released moisture has evaporated.
Add the baby spinach leaves to the mushrooms in the skillet, gently stirring until the spinach is wilted, approximately 1 minute.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the mushrooms and spinach. Using a spatula, gently pull the cooked edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to spread to the edges.
Once the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over half of the omelette and let it sit for about 1 minute until melted.
Carefully fold the omelette in half using the spatula. Slide it onto a serving plate.
Garnish with the chopped fresh chives on top.
Serve hot and enjoy your low carb delicious omelette!
