Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 large egg whites
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper
- 1 medium tomato
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon low-sodium salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables by dicing the red bell pepper, medium tomato, and mincing the garlic clove. Slice the green onion stalks and roughly chop the fresh parsley.
In a medium-sized non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and sliced green onions.
Saute the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes until they soften, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites in a small bowl until they become slightly frothy and uniform.
Reduce the heat to low and add the spinach, followed by the diced tomato. Stir and allow the spinach to wilt slightly.
Pour the egg whites into the pan with the vegetables. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula, ensuring the eggs cook evenly.
Continue cooking while stirring frequently, until the eggs are cooked through but still moist and soft, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Season with low-sodium salt and black pepper to taste, and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
Remove from heat and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
