The earthy mushrooms and the tangy spinach are perfectly balanced by the creamy Gruyère cheese in this omelette. The garlic adds a depth of flavor and the eggs add a richness. This is a delicious and filling breakfast dish.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and button), sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- 1Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt until the whites and yolks are fully incorporated, then set aside.
- 2Melt 1/2 of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and fragrant.
- 3Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- 4Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- 5Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 6Pour the whisked eggs over the spinach and mushroom mixture in the skillet, then sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
- 7Cook the eggs, stirring gently, until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes, then use a spatula to gently fold the eggs over the fillings.
