IHOP Spinach and Mushroom Omelette Knockoff
Everyone loves a good knockoff recipe.
And this one fits the bill!
Take fresh spinach, mushrooms, onions and Swiss cheese, then roll them into this fluffy omelette.
Top it with hollandaise and fresh, diced tomatoes.
Don’t be intimidated by the Hollandaise Sauce.
Hollandaise sauce is a dish I love but have always been afraid to make at home. I saw this recipe and it seemed straight forward so I figured I would give it a try.
These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
Omelette:
- 2 eggs
- 2 T. butter
- 1 T. milk
- ½ C. spinach leaves chopped
- ½ C. mushrooms sliced
- ¼ C. green onions finely chopped
- ¼ C. Swiss cheese shredded
Hollandaise Sauce: (makes 4 servings)
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice from 1 lemon
- Kosher salt
- 1 stick butter 8 tablespoons
- Pinch cayenne pepper or hot sauce if desired
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
Omelette:
- In a medium skillet, melt butter and sauté spinach, mushrooms, and green onions, until fragrant. Drain and set aside. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into skilled and cook until they start to become firm. Add cheese and sauté mix. Fold egg over. Serve with desired toppings like tomatoes or Hollandaise sauce.
Hollandaise Sauce:
- Combine egg yolks, water, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in the bottom of a cup that barely fits the head of an immersion blender. Melt butter in a small saucepan over high heat, swirling constantly, until foaming subsides. Transfer butter to a 1 cup liquid measuring cup.
- Place head of immersion blender into the bottom of the cup and turn it on. With the blender constantly running, slowly pour hot butter into cup. It should emulsify with the egg yolk and lemon juice. Continue pouring until all butter is added. Sauce should be thick and creamy. Season to taste with salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce (if desired). Serve immediately, or transfer to a small lidded pot and keep in a warm place for up to 1 hour before serving.
- Serve with desired toppings like tomatoes or Hollandaise sauce.
Voila! In two minutes I had my sauce. Add some cayenne pepper and a side of asparagus and Sunday breakfast was served!
It was easier to make than the omelette itself.
And that is just a glorified scrambled egg.
Serve your omelette with your choice tomato, avocado or asparagus!
Nothing tastes better than homemade. Trust the ingredients in your food.

It is still morning in Hawaii and I really am starving. This looks like just the ticket for breakfast! And today I’m over from Pit Stop

Thank you for the kind words. I hope you get to sample this dish. Thanks and have a great day!
Marilyn,
I had no idea that IHop had such a lovely omelette. We have one in our are , but I only went there once when the kids where little. Your omelette does look fresh and delicious.
They have a huge menu for all meals, but their breakfasts by far are the ones we eat. Thanks and have a great day!
I’m so glad it’s the weekend because that means that eating a big yummy omelette for breakfast is totally appropriate! Thanks for joining Fiesta Friday! – Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck – Colleen
It sure does! I love them for dinner too after a long day. Have a good weekend.
Thank you for linking up at The Blogger’s Pit Stop Link Party. I’m sharing your link on social media.
Carol (“Mimi”) from Home with Mimi
You are welcome Mimi. Thx for the shares.have a great week!
I love IHOP! We’ve been going there a lot lately and I always, always order the chicken fajita omelet. Maybe it’s time to branch out and order this next time. Better yet, now that I have the recipe, maybe I should make it myself. Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday!
Di you hear they are closing 500 IHOP restaurants?? It is the place we eat brunch at after visint my mother-in-law. I am devastated. You really need to see if one is yours. This is a great omelette and you should have most of the ingreients around when you need them! Have a blessed day!
What?! No!! Why?? It’s so popular around here, it’s always crowded. I’d better start collecting IHOP recipes!
I know!! Here too. It was on our news. They are partnered with another company I can’t remember and they are closing a bunch too! I am catching all the ideas I can. LOL.
My first time to visit your blog and this omelette looks amazingly delicious. Will make this soon.

I love breakfast and finding new recipes is always great. This sounds so yummy. I must admit I have not been to an IHOP in years. Look what I have been missing.
Thanks for sharing at Over The Moon party.
Hugs,
Bev
We have an IHOP near our mall. When we take the trip we always stop for brunch!! Thanks Bev and have a good week!
Does your really call for a stick of butter for one serving? That sounds like a ton of butter. Please advise – thanks!
Yes, those ingredient amounts are correct. The sauce, though, makes 1 cup. Which if you divide it makes 4 servings. I will clarify it. The plugin stripped that out so I will add it as a note! Thanks for pointing that out!
Oooh Marilyn this looks delicious! We keep chickens so always have an abundance of eggs and I love finding new egg recipes. Thank you for joining in with #CookBlogShare, I hope to see you again x
I love eggs for any meal. Having fresh eggs would be ideal! Lucky you. Enjoy! Have a great week.
I’ve never eaten at IHop but this omelet looks really good! Thanks for sharing it on the What’s for Dinner link up!
IHOP must have the biggest breakfast menu I have ever seen. I swear they have over 30 omelette recipes alone! Thanks for commenting. Enjoy your week!
I tend to be a bit of a pancake girl, but this omelet looks sooooo good! Yum!
I like this omelet or dinner. It is light but will hold you over to “popcorn” time! Have a great week.
Thank you for hosting at Thursday Favorite Things link party. This IHOP Spinach and Mushroom omelette knock off looks fabulous. The hollandaise sauce puts it over the top. I’m anxious to try the recipe. Pinned and shared.
Thank you so much for the shares Amy! This is certainly a great option for eating eggs! Have a great week.
That looks good… and the hollandaise on top adds a special touch, though I have never had it. Great idea. 🙂
Thank you Joy. Hollandaise is bad for cholsterol but delicious. Treat is as a dietary chest. ?Have a blessed day!
I’ve never made hollandaise either, but this recipe looks so good, and you always give great directions. I’m pinning so we can try it, it would be a great weekend brunch or even ‘brinner’ lol!
It is very good! Hollandaise is rich so you definitely need to use it as a treat. Of course, everything I make is a treat! 🙂 Enjoy!
We just recently got a I Hop in one of the little towns about 25 miles from us, (it’s really a big deal in the country). This Omelette looks delicious, I will be looking for it on the menu. Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday today. Have a great day and come back soon!
