Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large egg whites
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup mushrooms
- 0.5 medium avocado
- 0.25 cup low-fat feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing the spinach, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and mushrooms under cold water.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the red bell pepper, and slice the mushrooms.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the extra-virgin olive oil.
Add the diced red bell pepper and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach to the skillet, and continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
In a bowl, whisk the egg whites together with the sea salt and black pepper until frothy.
Pour the whisked egg whites into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables.
Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes until they start to set around the edges.
Sprinkle the low-fat feta cheese over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the side with the cheese.
Continue cooking for another minute to let the cheese melt and ensure the egg whites are fully cooked.
Slice the avocado, and serve the omelet by garnishing it with the fresh avocado slices.
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy loaded omelet.
