  • Whisk the egg whites and water together in a small bowl; pour over the mushroom and onion mixture. Season the egg whites with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the egg whites are no longer runny, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the mixture; top with the pesto. Fold the omelette in half and continue cooking until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.

Delish! I LOVE portobello mushrooms so this was right up my alley. I used baby portobellos vs. slicing a mushroom cap and sauteed them with a bit of minced garlic. I also subbed egg beaters for the egg whites and left out the water. I upped the pesta just a bit and added some shredded romano cheese along with the low-fat mozzarella. This was so good especially when paired with some whole grain toast. Read More

Just what I needed this morning for breakfast. I was looking through the new recipes and I found this gem! I used about a 1/2 cup of chopped baby bella mushrooms because I didn't have one large cap. I did increase the pesto to one tablespoon but that's only because I really like pesto. I did also add 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flake. Super flavorful and filling without adding a ton of fat. Thanks Alisan. NOTE: I used Classico brand pesto. Read More

Delicious. We grilled the large portobellos in a grill pan rather than sauteing in oil. That worked really well. We used whole eggs rather than white and left out the onion. We were very happy. Read More

filling. definitely needed to cook a little longer than prescribed. I am not fan of runny eggs. Good without the pesto sauce too! And nothing is ever bad with a little bit of sriracha! Read More

I loved this! I used havarti cheese instead and also lacked mushrooms so I put in about 1/4 cup of chopped red bell peppers with the onions. I love that it's healthy and tasty and could be appropriate for breakfast or dinner and I could see this going into a breakfast burrito or taco even. Well done! Read More
