Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 0.25 cup cooked black beans
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up for 1 minute.
Add the chopped onions and red bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and black beans to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts.
Reduce the heat to low and evenly spread the sautéed vegetables across the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, tilting the skillet slightly to distribute it evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the top of the omelette is set and no longer runny.
If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over half of the omelette. Using a spatula, fold the omelette in half and let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your high-protein veggie-packed meal!
