Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg whites and low-fat milk until well combined and frothy.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Stir in the spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, and pour the egg white mixture into the skillet with the vegetables.
Gently stir the mixture, scrambling the eggs slowly to ensure even cooking and to keep them fluffy.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set but not overcooked.
Season the scrambled eggs with black pepper and salt to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
