Method

  1. Put the spinach in a sieve and pour over boiling water. Cool and squeeze out moisture.
  2. Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan, add a knob of butter, the leek and mushrooms, and cook until soft. Remove and keep to one side.
  3. Whisk the egg yolks with 1 tbsp of water in a bowl and season. Whisk the whites until they form soft peaks and fold them into the egg yolks, keeping in as much air as possible. Add more butter to the pan, then add the eggs. Cook for 1 minute or until the base is set, then put the mushroom mix, spinach and cheese on half the omelette. Flip the bare half over. Cook for a few minutes, then serve.

    It was ok - liked the filling would have been happy with a normal style omlette though.

    It was nice but a lot of effort when a plain omelette tastes just as good

    That is not going to be much over 279 calories...2 eggs, 180 calories, 1 tbsp parmesan, 30 calories...leeks and mushrooms and spinach not very much at all...and then it just depends how much oil and butter you use. Probably more like 350. Obviously you could use masses of butter and oil which would significantly increase the calorie content, but otherwise it isnt too bad.
