kcalIngredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 small onion, diced
1 cup fresh baby spinach
Pinch of salt and black pepper
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk (your choice)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 slice Burgen low-carb toast (for serving)
Directions
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick fry pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion, cooking for approximately 5 minutes or until soft and golden. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add Spinach: Stir the fresh baby spinach into the pan until just wilted. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a plate and set aside.
- Whisk Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk until frothy.
- Cook Omelette: Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the non-stick fry pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula, pulling the edges inward and swirling the pan so the uncooked eggs flow to the edges and cook evenly.
- Stuff and Fold: Once the eggs are mostly set but still glossy on top, add the cooked vegetable mix and shredded cheddar cheese to one side of the omelette. Fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
- Serve: Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate. Serve immediately with one slice of low-carb toast to meet your dietary fiber requirements.
