Meal 11: Spinach and Mushroom Omelet

(The quality of this picture isn't the best, but believe me when I 
say that it tasted better than it looks)

For this Wednesday's post-work meal I decided to make a return to eggs, this time in the form of Omelets (which are way easier to make than Quiche, thankfully). There isn't much to say about why I wanted to make them other than the fact that it sounded good to me for this week, which is the untold perk of being the one in charge of making dinner.

Recipe:

Spinach and Mushroom Omelet
                                                                             
3 eggs
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp oil or butter
2 cups fresh spinach
1 pint sliced button mushrooms
Goat cheese

1.) Before making the omelet (as is takes less than 5 minutes) prepare the veggies. In a medium pan over medium heat, add the mushrooms and let cook until soft and brown, 5-9 minutes. When the mushrooms are done, put in a handful of spinach and let wilt, repeat until you have used all of the spinach. Remove from heat and set aside.
2.) In a large skillet, heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat. While the oil is warming, in a small bowl, beat the eggs until homogenous and add a pinch of salt and pepper. When oil is hot, pour the eggs into the pan.
3.) As the outside of the omelet begins to solidify, fold the edges over and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg in the middle to run to the sides. Repeat until the center is mostly cooked. At this point, on one half of the omelet, add half of the spinach and mushrooms as well as chunks of goat cheese (you can use as little or as much cheese as you want, but you can never have too much). Fold over the untouched side and remove from pan. Serve immediately with salsa, cheese, sour cream or plain.

(P.S. the technique needed to make omelets is harder than it sounds, so I definitely should have practiced first. I admittedly needed help from my dad and used the one that he made for the picture. But hey, at least now I know how to properly make one for next time.)
