Ingredients
- 4 large eggs worth Egg whites
- 0.5 cup (sliced) Mushrooms
- 0.25 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Crack 4 eggs and separate the whites from the yolks (reserve yolks for another recipe if desired). Pour the egg whites into a small bowl and whisk until slightly frothy. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Step 2
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned. Remove mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Pour the egg whites into the same skillet, tilting the pan to spread them evenly across the surface.
Step 5
Cook the egg whites for 1-2 minutes, or until they are set but still slightly glossy on top.
Step 6
Sprinkle the sautéed mushrooms and 1/4 cup of shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Step 7
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using a spatula. Press lightly to seal, and let cook for an additional 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
Step 8
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
