Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large egg whites
- 100 grams turkey chorizo
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small onion
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup fat-free cheese
Instructions
Chop the red bell pepper and onion into small dice.
In a non-stick skillet, heat one teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the turkey chorizo to the skillet and cook over medium heat for another 5 minutes, until browned. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until wilted. Stir to combine with the other ingredients.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg whites together with the salt and black pepper.
Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet over the chorizo and vegetables.
Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until they begin to set around the edges.
Sprinkle the fat-free cheese on top of the eggs.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the egg whites are fully cooked and the cheese is melted.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half, and serve immediately.
