Ingredients Notes:

Mushrooms: Use cremini, button, or portobello mushrooms for the best texture and flavor. Slice them thinly so they cook evenly.
Baby Spinach: Fresh baby spinach is tender and mild in flavor. Feel free to use regular spinach if that’s what you have on hand.
Eggs: Fresh eggs are key to a fluffy omelette. Consider free-range or organic for a more flavorful option.
Cheese (optional): Adding cheese like feta, cheddar, or goat cheese can enhance the taste. Go for a milder cheese if you want the mushrooms and spinach to stand out.
Herbs & Seasoning: Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or dill are great, but dried herbs will work as well. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder to taste.

Variations and Substitutions:

Vegan Option: To make a plant-based version, swap the eggs for chickpea flour or tofu scramble and use vegan cheese.
Add Protein: Include cooked chicken, turkey, or bacon for extra protein.
Add More Veggies: Customize your omelette with tomatoes, onions, or bell peppers for more texture and flavor.
Gluten-Free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free, so it’s perfect for anyone with dietary restrictions.

Storage Options:

If you have leftovers, store the omelette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a non-stick pan over low heat to avoid overcooking.
