Prepare the Egg Whites: Begin by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a bowl and whisk them vigorously until frothy.

Sauté the Mushrooms: Chop the button mushrooms and sauté them in a small skillet over medium heat, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

Cook the Spinach: Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly, then sauté them in the same pan for a few minutes until they wilt and release their moisture. Season lightly with salt and set aside.

Caramelize the Onions: For the caramelized onions, refer to our video or recipe guide for best practices, then set them aside in a bowl.
