Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Egg whites
- 1 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Spinach, chopped
- 0.25 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole egg, salt, and black pepper until frothy and well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to cover the bottom evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute.
Sprinkle the chopped spinach, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and fresh thyme leaves over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the unfilled side over the filling.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the filling is warmed through.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately for a delicious and heart-healthy breakfast.
