  • Mushrooms - 100 grams, sliced (preferably cremini or button)
  • Cheddar cheese - 50 grams, shredded
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Garlic - 1 clove, minced

Steps

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and browned.
  5. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the mushroom and spinach mixture in the skillet.
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes on medium-low heat, gently lifting the edges of the omelette with a spatula to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.

  10. Slide the omelette onto a plate, slice in half, and serve immediately.
