Everyone loves having “breakfast for dinner”, so enjoy this omelette as a protein and nutrient dense dinner on the Gut program, or an actual breakfast/brunch anytime! Vary the ingredients based on what’s in your fridge, garden or at the local farmers’ market. This could also be called the kitchen sink omelette, because it’s a great way to use leftovers up in a way that doesn’t look like leftovers!

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.

When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring occasionally until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Once the veggies are cooked well add the spinach and use a pair of tongs to toss the spinach and cook until wilted. Transfer the veggies to a small bowl, set aside.

Heat a well seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a few more spoonfuls of coconut oil then add the egg mixture.
Use a heat resistant rubber spatula or wooden spoon to gently pull the cooked edges towards the center, trying to keep the circular shape of the pan.
Continue until the eggs are about ¾ done (or however you like your eggs), then add the toppings to one side and place in the oven to finish, until everything is set (about five minutes, but keep watch).
