Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs equivalent Egg whites
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 cup Mushrooms
- 0.5 cup, chopped Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup, chopped Onion
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg whites and low-fat milk until well combined and a bit frothy.
Add the olive oil to a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and have released their moisture.
Stir in the chopped red bell pepper and baby spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the egg white mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Allow the omelette to cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and firm on the surface.
Carefully loosen the edges of the omelette with a spatula and fold it in half. Continue to cook for another minute if needed.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
