Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Milk (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil or cooking spray
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 0.25 cup Low-fat shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
Separate 8 egg whites from the yolks and place the whites in a medium-sized mixing bowl. (Save the yolks for another recipe, if desired.)
Whisk the egg whites with a fork or whisk until slightly frothy. Add 2 tablespoons of milk (if using), 0.25 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of ground black pepper. Whisk again to combine.
Prepare your vegetables by washing and drying 1 cup of fresh spinach, dicing 1 medium tomato, and slicing 0.5 cups of mushrooms.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, or use cooking spray to coat the pan evenly.
Once the skillet is hot, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the spinach and cook for another minute, until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked egg whites into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread them evenly. Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to set around the edges.
Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables and diced tomato over one half of the omelet. If using low-fat shredded cheese, sprinkle 0.25 cups over the vegetables.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings using a silicone spatula. Press gently to seal and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the omelet is fully set and the cheese (if added) is melted.
Slide the omelet onto a cutting board or large plate and cut it in half to serve two portions.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as whole-grain toast or a fresh fruit salad. Enjoy!
