-
Whisk the egg whites with the salt and pepper for about 30 seconds, until no thick strands remain and the surface is frothy.
-
Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms and spring onions for 3 minutes, until the liquid has cooked off. Add the spinach and tomatoes and cook for 1 minute, until the spinach wilts. Tip onto a plate.
-
Wipe out the pan, add the remaining oil and pour in the egg whites. Cook for 2 minutes, lifting the edges so the liquid runs underneath, until the top is just set but still glossy.
-
Spoon the vegetables over one half, fold the other half over and slide onto a board. Cut in two and scatter with the chives.
Small Things That Help
- Dry the tomatoes on paper towels after dicing; extra juice is the quickest way to a watery omelet.
- If the whites start to brown at the edges, lower the heat at once.
- Slide, do not flip: use a wide spatula and fold with a single movement.
Common Substitutions & Variations
- Out of spring onions? A small regular onion, finely sliced, or a few chives stirred in at the end both cover the job.
Serving Suggestions
- A slice of wholegrain toast
- Fresh berries
- A small side salad
