Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Portobello Pesto Omelette.
Step 1
Start by heating a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. As the oil warms, take a moment to appreciate the aroma that fills the kitchen. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced portobello mushroom and chopped red onion. Sauté them together for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mushroom softens and the onion becomes translucent, creating a delightful base for your omelette.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites and a teaspoon of water until well combined. This will help make your omelette fluffy! Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed mushrooms and onions in the skillet. Season with salt and ground black pepper to your liking. Gently stir the mixture occasionally, allowing the egg whites to cook through, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Once the egg whites are no longer runny, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Then, add a teaspoon of prepared pesto, spreading it out to ensure every bite is packed with flavor. Now, fold the omelette in half, letting it cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts beautifully inside. The aroma will be irresistible!
Step 4
When ready, slide the omelette onto a plate and admire your creation. This savory portobello pesto omelette is not just a meal; it's a celebration of flavors and textures that will brighten your day.
