Description
A delicious and savory spinach mushroom omelette infused with shallots and Parmesan cheese. This recipe combines sautéed mushrooms, fresh baby spinach, and sharp Parmesan to create a flavorful and nutritious breakfast or brunch option that’s easy to prepare in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons chopped shallot
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
For the Omelette
- 3 large eggs, whisked
- ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper (about ¼ teaspoon each)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Clean and chop the mushrooms, wash and dry the baby spinach thoroughly, and chop the shallots finely.
- Sauté Shallots: Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook for about 60 seconds until they become translucent.
- Cook Mushrooms: Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add Spinach and Parmesan: Stir in the baby spinach and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach wilts and releases its moisture.
- Remove Filling: Transfer the filling mixture from the pan to a bowl or plate and wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
- Heat Pan for Omelette: Add butter and olive oil to the clean pan and heat over medium heat.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, tilting to ensure the bottom is evenly covered. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
- Loosen Edges: Carefully loosen the edges of the omelette using a spatula to prevent sticking and allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Add Filling: Spoon the sautéed mushroom, spinach, and Parmesan mixture onto one half of the omelette. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes so the filling heats through and the eggs finish cooking.
- Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling, then slide it onto a plate. Grate additional Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan for best results and easy folding of the omelette.
- Feel free to substitute baby spinach with kale or Swiss chard if preferred.
- To make it lower fat, omit the butter and use only olive oil for cooking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Additional herbs like chives or parsley can be added for extra freshness.
