Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup sliced button mushrooms and sauté for 4 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup fresh spinach leaves to the skillet with the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted; season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, whisk 3 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy.
  4. Step 4: Pour the eggs evenly over the mushroom and spinach mixture in the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese over one half of the omelette, then carefully fold the other half over the cheese.
  6. Step 6: Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the cheese starts to soften. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.

How do I store leftover Sautéed Mushroom and Spinach Omelette with Goat Cheese?

How do I scale Sautéed Mushroom and Spinach Omelette with Goat Cheese for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 1 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 1). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
