Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Bay shrimp (cooked and peeled)
- 0.25 cup Low-fat Swiss cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 0.25 cup Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Green onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, skim milk, salt, and black pepper until frothy and well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with olive oil spray.
Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.
Cook the egg whites undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the chopped spinach, green onion, shrimp, and shredded Swiss cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the unfilled half of the omelet over the filling.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the omelet is cooked through.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with additional green onion or parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
