Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Gather all your ingredients.
- Slice the mushrooms if not already sliced.
- Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet.
- Sauté the mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly golden. Stir occasionally.
- Once cooked, remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the 4 egg whites until they are slightly frothy.
- Add the 2 tbsp of milk, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper to the egg whites. Whisk to combine all the ingredients.
- Using the same skillet, pour in the egg white mixture.
- Let the mixture cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- Gently lift the edges with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg whites to flow to the edges of the skillet.
- Continue cooking until the egg whites are almost fully set, about another 1-2 minutes.
- Evenly distribute the sautéed mushrooms over one half of the omelet.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the mushrooms using a spatula.
- Continue to cook for another 1 minute, or until the omelet is fully set and heated through.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Tips:
- For a fluffier omelet, whisk the egg whites thoroughly until they are frothy before cooking.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the omelet from sticking and to make flipping easier.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are fully softened to bring out their rich, earthy flavor.
- Feel free to add other veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or onions for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Serve the omelet with a side of whole-grain toast or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
With minimal effort and just a few ingredients, you can create a satisfying and nutritious meal that's ideal for any time of the day. This mushroom and egg white omelet is a versatile dish that can be easily adapted with your favorite vegetables or additional seasonings to suit your taste.
