Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the filling

   Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until golden. Add spinach and tomatoes, cook for 1 minute until the spinach wilts. Transfer to a plate.

2. 2

   Make the omelette base

   Whisk egg whites and whole egg with a pinch of salt and pepper until slightly frothy. Pour into the same pan over medium-low heat.

3. 3

   Cook the omelette

   Let the eggs set around the edges for 1-2 minutes. Gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath. Continue until the surface is just set but still slightly moist.

   Spoon the vegetable filling onto one half of the omelette. Scatter feta over the top. Fold the other half over and slide onto a plate. Garnish with chives.

Variations

• •

  Add smoked turkey slices and sun-dried tomatoes for a heartier filling.

• •

  Use goat cheese instead of feta for a tangier flavour.

• •

  Vegetarian: swap the protein for roasted king oyster mushrooms, smoked tofu or cooked chickpeas — adjust seasoning slightly upward to compensate.

• •

  Spicier: add a finely chopped fresh chile or a teaspoon of crushed Aleppo/Urfa pepper to the aromatics for warm, layered heat instead of a single sharp hit.

Storage

Best eaten immediately. Omelettes do not store or reheat well. Prep the vegetable filling in advance to speed up morning cooking.
