It may sound silly but the truth, and key for me, to good spinach and mushroom omelette is technique and patience. All good things take time to prepare. The taste of this homemade and thoughtful omelette (because vegetables) is so satisfying!
There are omelettes where the eggs are cooked into the veggies and folded over, and then there is the one that is bursting with flavor from a filled center; in this case sauteed veggies folded into fluffy eggs.
We want that, WE MAKE THAT!

Ingredients in S&M Omelette
Grocery Quick List: eggs, mushrooms, spinach, butter, salt and pepper.
- Eggs
- Mushrooms, four if large, seven if regular in size.
- Spinach
- Butter
- salt and pepper to taste
Ingredient Notes / Variations
- Fresh Eggs are so good and essential in omelettes like this! I recommend mixing the eggs in a bowl (photo below) and setting to the side first if this is your first time making this.
- The eggs cook quickly and evenly this way. If you like scrambling within the pan, that’s ok too.
- Butter – is preferred for fluffy egg omelettes like this because buttery flavor that surrounds the eggs is just next level home cooked fancy brunch good.
- Mushrooms – fresh mushrooms are the way to go. We understand that sometimes there is only access to canned but we go fresh whenever possible.
- If using canned, drain as much liquid from them as possible but don’t resort to squeezing them. We still treat the mushrooms with care.
- Spinach – Fresh and frozen (that has been previously chopped) both work.
- Regular size spinach or baby spinach are our favorite. Stems on is fine, but it is important to dice them well and cook well to avoid any hard stems.
- Pro Tip – Frozen large leaf spinach is a head/ache to hold (and cut), so you’ll always be better off using fresh or chopping up spinach before freezing for ready to go sauteed spinach dishes.
Erika’s Favorite: If I had to pick an omelette, it’d be this one or my other green favorite, asparagus-zucchini, or zucchini-mushroom omelette. It’s same steps for cooking tender bites of veggies, and fluffy eggs with dollops of homemade salsa on the side of the omelette.
