What Mushrooms to Use in Breakfast Mushroom Omelette?
I like to keep things very simple when it comes to mushrooms. My favourite trio is white button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms or portobello mushrooms. I recommend all three and they are always easy to find and light on that wallet.
I prefer picking my mushrooms individually rather than getting a package of mushrooms so I can ensure quality.
Is This Mushroom Omelette Healthy?
Eggs make for a staple breakfast option for good reason. They are packed with nutrients, are a good source of protein, healthy omega-3 fats and keep you feeling full. Given a healthy blood cholesterol level, whole eggs are an amazing, low-calorie breakfast food (Source: WebMD).
While mushrooms are packed with antioxidants, especially Selenium, which is known to help protect the body against free radicals which can cause conditions like heart disease and cancer. In addition, mushrooms are packed with fibre, vitamins and minerals, and might I add - so delicious (Source: Healthline).
