If you are not new to my blog, you will notice that I have lots of recipes using eggs. This is because we raise our own chickens and there is always an abundance of eggs. Also, eggs are one of the healthiest foods that we can eat!

Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup fresh mushrooms, chopped
- ¼ cup red onion, chopped
- ¾ cup spinach, chopped
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Making an omelet is relatively easy. My husband is the real pro at it. I took notes and this is what I came up with:
- Whisk together eggs, then add chopped mushrooms, spinach, red onion, salt, and pepper.
- Melt butter in a pan on medium heat.
- Add in egg mixture to the hot pan.
- Cook for a few minutes until the bottom of the eggs turns a light golden brown.
- Carefully flip over the egg, like a big pancake. This ensures the egg is cooked evenly. I hate runny eggs.
- Add shredded cheese to half of the omelet.
- When the egg on the bottom is nicely browned, just a couple of minutes, flip the omelet in half and serve.

Top tips
- Cook the omelet on medium heat to ensure it does not burn.
- Don't walk away from the stove, it cooks quickly.
- Use a rubber spatula to flip the omelet. It tears less easily.
Variations
Basically, whatever you have on hand you can put in an omelet. If you want meat, add cooked ham, bacon, or even salmon.
Add some of your favorite vegetables. I think kale, asparagus, tomatoes, broccoli, and peppers would be great. Use up whatever you have in your fridge!
Don't be afraid to add in any ingredients you think you will like!
Happy cooking!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes! In fact, both spinach and eggs provide a ton of protein, vitamins, minerals, and calcium. Whole eggs contain good fats, which provide energy to the body. Spinach is a great source of potassium, magnesium, and powerful antioxidants. Mushrooms are a low-calorie source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants, and they may also lower the risk of developing serious health conditions like Alzheimer's, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
To make this omelet healthier, add extra spinach, mushrooms, or other vegetables. So go ahead, eat it up for a healthy balanced breakfast!
In my opinion, no. From my experience, I do not find I need to cook the vegetables first. 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 prior to adding them to your omelet.
