Classic Omelette with Mushrooms and Spinach
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, beat the 3 eggs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to brown.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the mushrooms and spinach from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, pour in the beaten eggs, swirling the pan to spread them evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Sprinkle the sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and shredded cheese over one half of the omelette. Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half, and serve hot.
The classic omelette, with its origins in French cuisine, has been a beloved dish for centuries. The addition of mushrooms and spinach elevates this timeless recipe, adding earthy flavors and a nutritional boost. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Jacques Pépin have popularized the classic omelette, inspiring home cooks and professional chefs alike. In regions like Provence, France, where fresh mushrooms and spinach abound, this variation of the omelette has become a staple. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in upscale brunch spots and French bistros, where skilled chefs expertly fold in the mushrooms and spinach to create a delectable, fluffy omelette. The key to a perfect omelette lies in using fresh, high-quality ingredients and mastering the technique of gently folding the eggs to achieve a creamy, custard-like texture. For a twist on the classic, some chefs also incorporate goat cheese or gruyère for added richness and depth of flavor.
