❤️ Why you'll love this mushroom and feta omelette
- Easy recipe.
- Quick to make.
- Full of flavor.
- Perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner.
🥚 Ingredient notes
- Whole eggs. I used whole organic eggs. You could also use just egg whites for an egg white omelette, or use a combination of egg whites and whole eggs.
- Fresh mushrooms, chopped. I used fresh mushrooms, but you could also use canned mushrooms.
- Red onion, chopped. I used red onion, but you could also use green onion or yellow onion.
- Baby spinach leaves, chopped. I used fresh spinach, but you could also use frozen spinach. If you use frozen spinach, defrost the spinach first and squeeze it dry with a paper towel. Remove as much liquid as possible.
- Feta cheese. I used feta cheese, but you could also use shredded mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese. You could also leave out the cheese if you want to have a vegan omelette or cut calories.
- Salt and pepper, to taste. Keep in mind that the feta cheese is quite salty, so you may not even need any salt.
- Olive oil. I used extra virgin olive oil. You could also use avocado oil.

🍳 How to make a spinach mushroom omelette with feta cheese
Whisk together the eggs, then add chopped mushrooms, spinach, red onion, salt, and pepper.
Melt olive oil in a non-stick skillet on low-medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. Spread it out evenly.
Cook for about 5 minutes, until the bottom of the eggs turn a light golden brown color.
Carefully flip over the egg, like a big pancake. This ensures the egg is cooked evenly.
Spread feta cheese evenly on the top of the omelette. Continue to cook for about 5 more minutes until the egg on the bottom is nicely browned.
Fold the omelette in half, slide it onto a plate, and serve. Enjoy!
💭 Expert Tips
- Cook the omelet on low-medium heat to ensure it does not burn. It is 2.5 on our dial.
- Don't walk away from the stove; it cooks quickly.
- Use a rubber spatula to flip the omelet. It tears less easily.
🌡️ Storage Tips
Fridge: Place the cooled omelette in an airtight container, or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Wrap the cooled omelette in plastic wrap and place it in a Ziploc bag. Remove as much air as possible from the bag. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
🌡️ Reheating Instructions
- Microwave: To reheat an omelette, you can wrap it in a paper towel, place it on a microwavable plate, and heat it in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes.
- Stove: Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet. Place the omelette in the skillet and heat through. When it is hot on the bottom, flip it over until that side is hot.
- Oven: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place omelette on a baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil and heat for about 10 minutes, until heated through.
- Air fryer: Place the omelette on a heat-proof plate and place it in the air fryer. Use the reheat function until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
🍳 What is the best pan for making omelettes?
I find the best pans for making omelettes are non-stick 8-inch skillets.
The trick is to preheat the pan but don't have the heat turned up too high.
Cast iron skillets also work, but you have to be careful the heat is not too high, otherwise it will burn and break apart when flipping it.
🍄 Do you need to cook the vegetables first?
In my opinion, no. From my experience, I do not find I need to cook the vegetables first. For example, even though mushrooms are a wetter vegetable, I do not find they need to be cooked, and my omelets have never turned out soggy. But by all means, if you want, saute your veggies in a small pan before adding them to your omelette.
📖 Variations
- Egg white spinach omelet: Use only egg whites and omit the egg yolks.
- Bacon spinach omelet: Add cooked, crumbled bacon to the omelette.
- Chicken omelet recipe: Add cooked, chopped chicken to the omelet for extra protein.
- Seasoning: Adjust the seasoning to suit your tastes. This omelette would be delicious with basil or dill added.
- Basically, whatever you have on hand, you can put in an omelet. If you want meat, add cooked ham, bacon, chorizo, or even salmon.
- Add some of your favorite vegetables. I think kale, asparagus, tomato, leek, broccoli, and peppers would be great. Use up whatever veggies you have in your fridge!
- Don't be afraid to add any ingredients you think you will like!
