Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Spinach
- 6 Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fat-free milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Separate egg whites into a bowl and set aside. Discard the yolks or save them for another use.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg whites with fat-free milk, salt, and black pepper until slightly frothy.
Prepare your vegetables: chop the spinach coarsely, quarter the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the onion, and finely dice the red bell pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach has wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg white mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.
Allow the mixture to cook gently without stirring for about 3-4 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, carefully lift the edges of the omelette to allow uncooked egg whites to flow to the skillet's sides.
Once the omelette is fully cooked and no liquid egg remains, gently fold it in half.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
