Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat feta cheese (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Whisk the egg whites in a small bowl until slightly frothy. Add garlic powder, black pepper, and salt, and whisk again to combine.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chopped red onion to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until translucent.
Add the baby spinach and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the skillet, cooking for 1 additional minute.
Spread the cooked veggies evenly across the skillet and pour the whisked egg whites over them. Tilt the skillet gently to allow the egg whites to spread evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set.
Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula. Transfer it to a plate.
If using, sprinkle low-fat feta cheese on top for added flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
