Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
as needed (for cooking)
Mushrooms
1/2 cup (thinly sliced)
Egg whites
3 (available from a carton; approximately 6 tablespoons)
Fresh spinach
1/2 cup (lightly chopped)
Salt
to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
to taste
Instructions
1
Spray a 6-inch or 8-inch nonstick pan with cooking spray and place it over low to medium heat. Avoid heating the pan too much to prevent burning.
2
Add the thinly sliced mushrooms to the pan, spreading them out evenly. Allow them to sauté gently for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
3
Slowly pour the egg whites over the mushrooms, ensuring an even distribution.
4
Sprinkle the chopped spinach on top of the egg whites. Cover the pan with a lid to allow the omelette to cook through evenly.
5
Cook for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, checking occasionally, until the egg whites are no longer runny and are set.
6
Once the omelette is cooked to your liking, gently tip it onto a plate and fold it in half. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste before serving.
