Ingredients
- Portabella Omelet1 medium portabella mushroom
- 4 tsp olive oil, divided
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
- 2 tsp water

Directions
- Portabella OmeletRemove stem from mushroom. Cut mushroom in half and thinly slice. Heat a 10-inch non-stick saut pan over high heat. Add 2 teaspoons oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the sliced mushrooms and saut 5 minutes, just until gently browned.
- Break the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the green onions, water, salt and pepper. Beat with a fork until combined.
- Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to pan and swirl to evenly distribute. Gently add the egg mixture to the pan and swirl to distribute evenly. Top with the grated cheese, cook 5 minutes until egg is cooked through. Fold one side of omelet over the other half.
- Gently remove from pan and onto the serving plate. Top with the portabella bacon and serve.
