Ingredients
Scale
Omelet Ingredients
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 ounces sliced mushrooms of choice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons crumbled goat’s cheese
- 1/2 ripe avocado, diced
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the mushrooms: Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they are tender and golden brown.
- Cook the spinach: Add the baby spinach to the pan with mushrooms and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set it aside.
- Make the omelet base: Beat the eggs in a bowl until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Cook the omelet: Wipe the skillet clean, add a small amount of olive oil if needed, and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over medium-low heat. Let the eggs cook undisturbed until the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add fillings: Evenly distribute the sautéed mushrooms and spinach over one half of the omelet. Sprinkle the crumbled goat’s cheese on top of the vegetables.
- Fold the omelet: Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still tender.
- Serve and garnish: Slide the omelet onto a plate. Top with diced avocado and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute goat’s cheese with feta or cream cheese for a different flavor.
- Use fresh herbs like chives or thyme for additional aromatic notes.
- Adjust seasoning as preferred, adding chili flakes for some heat.
- Cook the omelet on low heat to prevent browning and keep it tender.
- Leftover avocado should be stored properly to prevent browning.
