Mushroom and Microgreens Omelet 🍳

This is not your average omelet. It’s a precision-packed powerhouse. Earthy mushrooms kissed by olive oil, folded into fluffy eggs with a green burst of sunflower microgreens. Light, lean, and loaded with flavor — this is how high performers start their day. Clean energy, clean ingredients, and absolutely no shortcuts.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
• 1/2 cup sunflower microgreens (or any microgreens available)
• 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt, to taste
• Freshly cracked black pepper
• Optional: a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast
• 2–3 slices of grilled whole grain or sourdough bread (for serving)

Method – Controlled heat. Sharp movements. No compromise.

1. Start with the mushrooms.
Hot nonstick pan. Olive oil in. Mushrooms go in dry – no washing last minute, or they’ll steam, not sear. Sauté until golden, about 4–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in garlic at the last minute, not before. Garlic burns fast, and you want aroma, not bitterness.

2. Crack, beat, and season.
Crack eggs into a bowl. Beat until smooth, season with a touch of salt and pepper. Heat a second nonstick skillet – medium-low. Drizzle a touch of oil or a swipe of butter. Pour eggs in. Do not touch. Let the edges set.

3. The fold begins.
When the base is barely set, use a spatula to gently push cooked egg toward the center, tilting the pan to let the raw egg run under. Repeat around the pan. Soft curds not scrambled.

4. Load it right.
Once the top is just about done (still a bit glossy), add the sautéed mushrooms and a generous handful of microgreens to one side. Optional: sprinkle Parmesan or nutritional yeast for an umami kick.

5. Fold with confidence.
Flip the empty half gently over the filled half. Slide it onto a warm plate. Serve with grilled bread slices for crunch and balance.
