Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Finely chop the onion and slice the mushrooms.
In a non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 2 minutes or until they become translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms and fresh spinach to the onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the spinach has wilted. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the bottom. Cook without stirring until the eggs begin to set around the edges.
Once the edges start to set, use a spatula to gently push the eggs from the outer edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top.
Evenly scatter the cooked vegetables over one half of the omelet.
Carefully fold the omelet in half over the filling using the spatula.
Cook for another minute to let the omelet become fully set and warm up the vegetables.
Slide the omelet onto a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
