Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.5 red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup mushrooms
- 0.25 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons green onions
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and water until frothy. This helps create a light and fluffy omelette.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender.
Add spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the egg whites spread evenly over the vegetables.
Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese, black pepper, and salt evenly over the cooking omelette.
Cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to set. Gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan so that the uncooked egg flows underneath.
Once the omelette is mostly set but slightly runny on top, sprinkle the sliced green onions over half of the omelette.
Carefully fold the omelette in half with the spatula and cook for another minute to let the cheese melt completely.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast!
