Instructions:

- Crack the egg into a bowl and add the egg whites. Whisk until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Melt the butter in the skillet.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
- Pour the egg and egg white mixture into the same skillet.
- Tilt and rotate the skillet gently to evenly distribute the eggs over the surface.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until they just begin to set.
4. Add Fillings:
- Once the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny on top, evenly scatter the cooked mushrooms over one half of the omelet.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mushrooms.
5. Fold the Omelet:
- Use a spatula to gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling.
- Let the omelet cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the eggs to fully set.
- Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious mushroom, cheddar, and egg white omelet!
Tips:
- For a fluffier omelet, gently whisk the egg whites until they become frothy before cooking.
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and a firmer texture in your omelet.
- Grate the cheddar cheese just before adding it to the omelet for the freshest taste and optimal melting.
- Cook the mushrooms in the butter first until they are golden and tender to enhance their natural flavor.
- If desired, season the omelet with salt, pepper, and herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
