Ingredients

🍳 3 eggs
🍄 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
🌿 1 bag (about 5 oz) of spinach, washed
🧅 1/2 onion, chopped
🧀 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated (or any cheese you prefer)
🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
🧈 1 tablespoon butter
🥄 1 teaspoon olive oil
💧 A splash of water

Instructions

1- Prep the Vegetables:

Begin by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and start to caramelize.

2- Cook the Mushrooms:

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onions.
Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned.

3- Wilt the Spinach:

Add the washed spinach to the skillet.
Stir the mixture until the spinach wilts down completely.
Once done, transfer this vegetable mixture to a plate and set aside.

4- Prepare the Eggs:

In a bowl, crack the eggs and add a splash of water.
Season with salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.

5- Cook the Omelette:

Heat the butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, letting it spread evenly.

6- Add the Filling:

Once the eggs begin to set, place the cooked vegetable mixture on one side of the omelette.
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the vegetables.

7- Fold and Cook:

Gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
Cover the skillet with a lid for about 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the eggs to cook through.

8- Serve:

Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot.
