Sauté the Veggies:
- Heat butter in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced button mushrooms and roughly chopped spinach. Sauté for at least 1 minute, until the spinach wilts and the mushrooms start to soften.
Add the Eggs:
- Pour in the beaten eggs, swirling the pan gently so the eggs cover the veggies evenly.
Season:
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the eggs.
Cook:
- Let the omelette cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes, until mostly set. You can fold it over or just slide it onto a plate as is.
Serve:
- Enjoy hot, straight from the pan!
