Ingredients

  • egg whites 6 large
  • turkey bacon 3 slices
  • mushrooms 1/2 cup sliced
  • olive oil 1 tsp

Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
