cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: none

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: none

Dried herbs are more accessible and have a longer shelf life.

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: none

Zucchini is often less expensive and adds moisture.

1

Heat butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add onions, peppers, and mushrooms and sauté until onions become clear.

2

Add spinach and season with salt and pepper. When spinach has wilted, remove from heat and cover with lid or foil to keep warm.

3

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add water. Whisk until eggs become light yellow in color. Set aside.

4

Spray an 8" pan with cooking spray and heat over medium low heat. Slowly add egg mixture. Do not stir! Let them just sit and start to bubble up a little bit.

5

When the bottom of the eggs begin to set, use a heat-resistant rubber spatula to gently push one edge of the egg into the center of the pan, while tilting the pan to allow the still liquid egg to flow in underneath. Repeat with the other edges, until there's no liquid left. Add salt and pepper. Gently flip the egg pancake over, using your spatula to ease it over if necessary. Turn off the heat but keep the pan on the burner.

6

Add cooked toppings and cheese to half of the omelette. Fold the other side of the omelette over the toppings. You can also put the toppings down the middle and fold one side of the omelet over the toppings and then do the same with the other side.

7

As soon as the cheese is melted remove omelette from the pan. Serve immediately.
