In a separate, impeccably clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites, being careful not to deflate the whites. The mixture should be light and airy. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View 1 mins Serve: Carefully slide the omelet onto a large plate. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the exquisite flavors. (Serve time: 1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the mushrooms while they're sautéing.
Be careful not to overcook the omelet, as it will become dry. It should be slightly soft in the center when you fold it.
Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as Gruyere, Fontina, or even a sharp cheddar, depending on your preference.
If you don't have fresh crabmeat, high-quality canned crabmeat can be used, but be sure to drain it well.
To ensure perfectly beaten egg whites, make sure your bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease.
