Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small, finely chopped red onion
- 1 cup, sliced (button or cremini) mushrooms
- 1 cup, fresh spinach
- 1 medium, diced tomato
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons, crumbled low-fat feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Whisk the egg whites in a mixing bowl until they become frothy. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
Stir in the fresh spinach, cooking until wilted, about 1 minute.
Season the vegetables with a pinch of black pepper and salt.
Pour the egg whites evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
Allow the omelet to cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is starting to set, but still soft.
Spread the diced tomatoes and low-fat feta cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet over the side with the filling and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
