Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large egg whites
- 2 tsp unsalted butter
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Vegetables & Meat
- 4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
- 6 medium mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, stems removed
- 1 roma tomato, diced
Other Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup Colby Jack cheese, finely shredded
- Fresh chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Sauté the bacon strips over medium heat, turning occasionally until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and soft. Remove from heat.
- Prepare and Cook the Omelette Base: Heat a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of butter to coat the bottom. Whisk half of the egg whites vigorously until frothy, then pour into the pan to coat the surface. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes or until the bottom turns golden. Carefully flip the omelette with a spatula.
- Add Fillings and Fold: Immediately sprinkle 1/4 of the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the omelette. Place spinach on one half, and sautéed mushrooms and crumbled bacon on the other half. Fold the omelette in half gently without deflating the eggs. Slide onto a serving plate and top with another 1/4 of cheese, diced tomatoes, and fresh chives if using.
- Repeat for Second Omelette: Repeat the cooking and filling process with the remaining egg whites and ingredients to make the second omelette.
Notes
- Use fresh egg whites for a lighter texture and better fluffiness.
- The mushrooms can be sautéed in the bacon fat for extra flavor if preferred.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add extra vegetables.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
- Chives are optional but add a fresh, mild onion flavor and color.
