Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup, roughly chopped baby spinach
- 1/2 cup, sliced white button mushrooms
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped, for garnish fresh chives
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 tbsp whole milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until light and frothy.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy.
- Step 3: Add 1/2 cup sliced white button mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and edges start to brown.
- Step 4: Add 1 cup roughly chopped baby spinach to the skillet, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until wilted and fragrant.
- Step 5: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spinach and mushrooms, tilting the pan to spread. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges set but the center is slightly runny.
- Step 6: Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over half the omelette. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half over the cheese.
- Step 7: Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until cheese melts and eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
- Step 8: Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives before serving.
