Prepare Ingredients.
Start by washing the mushrooms under cold water and patting them dry with a paper towel. Slice the mushrooms if not pre-sliced. Separate the egg whites from 6 large eggs if using whole eggs, or use carton egg whites measured to 300g. Set all ingredients aside.
Tip: Dry mushrooms thoroughly to avoid excess moisture during cooking. -
Cook Turkey Bacon.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the 3 slices of turkey bacon in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are browned and slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Set aside.
Tip: Use a spatula to press turkey bacon slightly for even cooking. -
Sauté Mushrooms.
In the same skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and warm over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure mushrooms brown nicely instead of steaming. -
Cook Egg White Omelette.
Wipe the skillet clean and lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil or non-stick spray. Pour the egg whites into the skillet over medium-low heat. Let the egg whites cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until they start to set around the edges.
Tip: Use a spatula to gently lift edges to check if the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny. -
Add Filling and Fold Omelette.
Evenly distribute the sautéed mushrooms and cooked turkey bacon slices over one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half over the filling using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the omelette to fully set and the filling to warm through.
Tip: Cook on low heat to avoid browning the egg whites too much. -
Serve.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately while warm. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
Tip: Serve with a side of fresh salad or whole grain toast if desired.
Pro tips
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the egg whites from sticking and breaking.
- Cook turkey bacon first to render some fat, which can be used to sauté mushrooms for extra flavor.
