      Spinach and Mushroom Omelet

It also sets the tone for making healthier food choices throughout your day by curbing cravings. Our Spinach and Mushroom Omelet is packed with protein, and flavor, to help you get your body and brain pumping and ready for the day ahead! If you don't love mushrooms, you can easily swap in bell peppers, tomatoes or your favorite veggies.
      Prep Time 10 minutes
      Cook Time 20 minutes
      Servings: 2
      Course: Breakfast

      Ingredients
        

      • 1 Tbs olive oil
      • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
      • 1 cup spinach chopped
      • 2 eggs large
      • 4 egg whites
      • Salt and pepper
      • 2 Tbs feta cheese crumbled (optional)
      • 2 Tbs parsley fresh, chopped

      Method
       

      Prep
      1. Wash and chop mushrooms and spinach.
      Make
      1. In a medium skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and spinach and cook until the the mushrooms are browned and both have given up most of their liquid, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.
      2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper. Pour the eggs over the vegetables. If using the optional feta, add at this point as well. Tilt the pan and lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula as it starts to cook in order to allow the uncooked parts in the middle to flow out to the edges of the pan and cook quicker and more evenly. Cook until the bottom of the omelet begins to slightly brown, about 3 minutes.
      3. Use a spatula to fold the omelet and cook for an additional minute before transferring to a plate and garnishing with fresh parsley. A four 4 egg omelet is enough for 2 people.
