IHOP Spinach and Mushroom Omelette Knockoff

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.

    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!

    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,

      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!

      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!

    That looks good… and the hollandaise on top adds a special touch, though I have never had it. Great idea. 🙂

      I have had hollandaise on Eggs Benedict but I was reading so many ways to use the leftovers. Seems I never make anything in moderation!I always appreciate comments! Enjoy your week.
