This is a delicious and very filling meal for two people – and can even be stretched to serve more! We even love to make these as a breakfast for dinner meal, and let the kids choose what they want inside of their omelette. Easy, tasty, filling, and packed with nutrition.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2.5 oz mushrooms sliced
- 2.5 oz full-fat Mozzarella cheese grated
- 3 TB unsalted butter
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- 6 large eggs separated
Instructions
- Start with your prep: thinly slice the mushrooms and grate the cheese.
- Melt half the butter in a large non-stick pan and fry the mushrooms over high heat until they release all their moisture and start to caramelize.
- Remove them from the pan and set them aside in a bowl, seasoning the mushrooms with salt and pepper.
- Separate the eggs into two bowls, ensuring no yolks get into the whites and vice versa. Loosen up the yolks with a fork, then use an electric hand mixer to whip the whites to stiff peaks.
- Fold the yolk mix into the whites using large circular motions ensuring no air gets knocked out.
- Wipe the pan clean and melt the remaining butter over moderately low heat. Pour in the egg mix and use a spatula to smooth over the surface. Cook on this low heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and grated cheese onto one half of the omelette and cover the pan securely with a lid or piece of foil. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Just before serving, use a large spatula to flip the undressed half of the omelette over the half containing filling. Cook for an additional minute, if needed.
