Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat feta cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the egg whites, and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Wash and pat dry the fresh spinach. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Dice the red bell pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chopped red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes or until slightly softened.
Add the spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes are slightly soft. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it covers the entire base evenly. Allow it to cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the sautéed vegetables and low-fat feta cheese over one half of the omelet.
Season with black pepper and salt.
Using a spatula, carefully lift the uncovered half of the omelet and fold it over the filling.
Continue to cook the folded omelet for another 1-2 minutes until the inside is cooked to your liking.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
