Instructions:
- Chop the onions, slice the mushrooms, and dice the turkey ham.
- Separate the egg whites into a bowl (discarding or saving the yolks for another use).
- Wash the spinach if it isn’t pre-washed.
- Crumble the goat cheese and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and give it a light spray with the cooking spray oil.
- Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until they start to turn translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until they soften and release their moisture.
- Now, add the diced turkey ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Toss in the spinach, stirring until it just starts to wilt (about 1 minute), then transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside.
- Wipe out the skillet if necessary and lightly respray with cooking oil.
- Pour the egg whites into the skillet and spread them evenly by tilting the skillet.
- Cook the egg whites without stirring, let them set slightly but remain a bit soft on top, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the egg whites are almost set, distribute the vegetable and turkey ham mixture evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese generously over the veggie mixture.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling.
- Let the omelet cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and finish setting.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half if desired, and serve hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for a more vibrant flavor and texture.
- Cook the onions and mushrooms until they are fully caramelized to enhance their sweetness and depth of flavor.
- If you don't have turkey ham, you can substitute it with other lean meats like chicken or even plant-based alternatives.
- For a fluffier omelet, beat the egg whites until they are frothy before pouring them into the pan.
- Try experimenting with different types of cheese if goat cheese is not available, but be mindful of the different melting points and flavors.
