Omelets are a breakfast food that consist of eggs, along with vegetables, cheese or meat. Nutrition in omelets will vary depending on how many eggs you use or if you use an egg replacer. Beat the eggs until they are well incorporated. You may add milk for a lighter texture. Spinach and mushrooms are healthy additions to your omelet. Saute them until they are soft and pour the egg mixture over the veggies. Cook until the egg is nearly cooked, flip it, fold it and eat.
