Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Skim Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 spritz Cooking Spray
- 1 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Onions
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Bell Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Low-Fat Shredded Cheese
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the skim milk. Whisk together until the eggs are well beaten and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Prepare any additional fillings, such as chopping the onions and bell pepper, if not already done.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and give it a light spritz of cooking spray.
Add the chopped onions and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes until they are tender and slightly translucent.
Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly across the skillet and pour the beaten egg mixture over the top.
Let the eggs cook without stirring for about 1-2 minutes, or until they begin to set around the edges but remain soft in the center.
Sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheese over one half of the omelet and allow it to melt slightly.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese and hold for a few seconds to set.
Transfer the omelet to a plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
