Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces extra-large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.25 cup low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and skim milk until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced kalamata olives and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, and parsley evenly over the eggs.
Season with black pepper to taste.
Cook the omelette for 4-5 minutes, gently lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Once the eggs are set and the bottom is golden, carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula.
Transfer the omelette to a serving plate and enjoy it hot as a heart-healthy meal.
