Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs egg whites
- 1 spritz olive oil spray
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- 4 pieces cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach
Instructions
Separate the yolks from the egg whites of four large eggs, discarding the yolks or saving them for another recipe.
Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan with olive oil spray and place it over medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, pour the egg whites into the pan, spreading them evenly to form a thin layer.
Season the egg whites with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Allow the egg whites to cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they start to set on the bottom.
Add the baby spinach and cherry tomato halves to one side of the egg whites.
Carefully fold the other side of the egg whites over the spinach and tomatoes using a spatula.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the egg whites are fully cooked through and the spinach is slightly wilted.
Transfer the fried egg whites to a plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately for a delicious and heart-healthy breakfast.
