Ingredients

6 large egg whites (or carton egg whites)
2 tsp olive oil
6 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cups baby spinach
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 tsp dried)
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

1

In a small bowl, lightly beat 6 large egg whites (or carton egg whites) with a fork and season with half the 1/4 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
2

Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 oz sliced cremini mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until they begin to brown.
3

Stir the mushrooms and cook 2 more minutes. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 thinly sliced green onions, 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 tsp dried); cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
4

Add 2 cups baby spinach and toss until just wilted, about 1 minute. Season with remaining kosher salt and black pepper.
5

Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the beaten large egg whites (or carton egg whites). Using a rubber spatula, gently fold and push the curds toward the center as they set, leaving them soft and slightly underdone. Remove from heat when just cooked through. Serve immediately.
