Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs egg whites
- 4 slices reduced-fat deli ham
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 1 spray olive oil cooking spray
- 8 halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 chopped green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites and low-fat milk until frothy. Season with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the chopped green onions to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet. Allow to cook for about 2–3 minutes, gently stirring occasionally with a spatula to allow uncooked portions to flow to the edges.
Once the egg whites begin to set, add the reduced-fat deli ham slices, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach across the surface.
Continue to cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Once fully cooked, fold the egg mixture over, creating an omelet, and remove from heat.
Divide the omelet portions between two plates and serve immediately.
