Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Feta cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Crack the 3 eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the 2 egg whites, and beat lightly with a whisk until combined.
Dice the red bell pepper finely. Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters, depending on size. Chop the green onions and fresh parsley finely.
Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the cherry tomatoes and sliced green onions to the skillet and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Add the spinach leaves, stirring gently until they are just wilted, about 1 minute.
Pour the beaten eggs over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low, and let cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges are set but the top is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the feta cheese on top, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the egg is fully cooked.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from the heat and allow the omleta to cool slightly before slicing.
Garnish with the chopped parsley before serving.
