Mushroom and Spinach Omelette




The following recipe serves one person.

Ingredients:
  1. Eggs: 2 large sized or 3 medium sized
  2. Mushrooms: Any type you like, 1 cup, sliced
  3. Spinach: 1 cup, chopped
  4. Onion: 1 small, fine chopped
  5. Milk: 3 tbsp
  6. Black pepper: 1/4 tsp (levelled)
  7. Salt (to taste)
  8. Red chilli flakes (just a pinch)
  9. Olive oil: 2 tbsp
Note: I have used mushrooms and spinach in this recipe. You may use other vegetables like bell pepper (green, red, yellow), thinly slices potatoes, green onion, green chilli pepper, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage etc.

Instructions:

Whisk the eggs and the milk in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add a pinch of black pepper, red chilli flakes and salt and whisk a little more.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan (preferably non-stick). Sauté onion until it just changes color.



Add the mushrooms and spinach to the pan.


Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the spinach is wilted. If using other vegetables, sauté them in a similar way. Add some salt and black pepper. Keep in mind that the egg mixture also has salt and pepper. Take the mixture out on a plate and set aside. 
  
Now, in the same pan, heat up 1 tbsp oil (medium heat). Add the egg mixture to the pan and tilt it in all directions to let the mixture cover the whole base. Lower the heat and allow the egg to set. Cover the pan with a lid (if you dont have a lid, use a plate).



Once the egg mixture is set and the color has changed to golden brown, carefully change its side with the help of a large, flat spoon. Make it golden brown.



Put the mushroom+spinach mixture on half the egg base.


Turn over the remaining half of the egg base as shown in the figure. Take it out on a plate.


Serve with some nicely toasted bread. 



Alternatively ----- > The above method of making the omelette is a slightly fancy way of doing it. Since some of my friends may not like to put so much effort into it, i'd suggest an easier way.

After sautéing the vegetables, simply add the egg mixture in the same pan. Allow it to set a little and then change the side. Or make the eggs like scrambled ones. 

Happy eating :)

P.S. The pictures didn't come out so good as there was no proper light. But the taste was great, I promise. ;)
