Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Egg Whites
- 1 medium Bell Pepper
- 0.5 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Spinach
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Skim Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by washing the bell pepper and spinach thoroughly under running water.
Dice the bell pepper into small, equally-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Stir the diced bell pepper, black pepper, and salt into the egg mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring the bell peppers are evenly distributed.
Cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges of the omelette begin to set.
Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half, covering the cheese.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the eggs to cook through.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
