Why choose an omelette with mushrooms and cheese?

This combination is not only tasty, but also highly functional:

• High-quality protein from eggs → essential for muscle recovery and growth

• Healthy fats → support hormonal balance and satiety

• Vitamins D & B12 → important for energy, immunity, and muscle function

• Low in carbohydrates → suitable for fat loss or stable blood sugar levels

👉 Pairs perfectly with strength training and fits within a balanced nutrition plan.

How to prepare

1. Slice the mushrooms and finely chop the chives (and optional spring onion).

2. Heat a knob of butter in a frying pan and sauté the mushrooms until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Whisk the eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper.

4. Heat a little more butter and pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it set gently over low heat.

5. Spread the mushrooms over the omelette and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

6. Allow the cheese to melt slightly, remove from heat, and garnish with chives and optional chili flakes.

💡 Tip: Add turkey strips or extra vegetables for more protein and volume.
