Ingredients

• 3 Large eggs
• 2 Egg whites
• 1 cup Fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup Button mushrooms, sliced
• 0.25 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the egg whites. Whisk together until the yolks and whites are fully combined and appear frothy.

Step 2

Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir again to incorporate the seasoning evenly.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes or until they are softened and lightly browned.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until it is wilted. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet, spreading it evenly across the surface. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to set.

Step 7

Add the cooked spinach and mushrooms evenly over one half of the omelet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the vegetables.

Step 8

Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the eggs are cooked through.

Step 10

Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with the chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein, classic egg omelet.
