Ingredients
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 cup Yellow onion, diced finely
1 cup Fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 tsp Kosher salt, divided
1/2 tsp Black pepper, freshly cracked
8 Large Egg whites
1/2 cup Gruyere or Swiss cheese, finely shredded
2 Tbsp Unsalted European style butter
Fresh parsley, minced for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and diced yellow onions to the pan.
Sauté for five minutes until the vegetables are golden brown and soft.
Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
Stir in the baby spinach until wilted, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium-low heat with the butter.
Whisk egg whites with remaining salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Pour egg whites into the skillet and cook until edges begin to set.
Add the vegetable filling and shredded cheese to one half of the omelette.
Fold the omelette over the filling and cook for another minute until the cheese is melted.
Slide onto a plate and garnish with fresh parsley to serve.
Notes
Ensure you cook the vegetable filling separately first to release moisture, which keeps the omelette from becoming soggy. Using high-quality aged cheese enhances the depth of flavor. For a fluffier result, use room temperature egg whites.
