Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can Olive oil spray
- 6 large Egg whites
- 120 grams Low-fat cooked ham or lean turkey ham
- 60 grams Baby spinach leaves
- 8 whole Cherry tomatoes
- to taste Black pepper
- to taste Salt
- 10 grams Fresh chives
Instructions
Begin by preparing and organizing all your ingredients. Slice the low-fat cooked ham into strips, slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and chop the fresh chives finely.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with olive oil spray.
Add the sliced ham to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to brown slightly.
Add the baby spinach leaves to the skillet and cook along with the ham, stirring gently until the spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites together with a pinch of salt and black pepper until they are slightly frothy.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg whites into the skillet, gently stirring to distribute them evenly with the ham and spinach.
Allow the eggs to cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes, or until they just begin to set around the edges.
Gently fold the egg mixture once or twice to allow the uncooked parts to flow to the skillet's surface, then sprinkle the halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the top.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are fully cooked and set.
Divide the ham and egg mixture between two plates, garnish with the freshly chopped chives, and serve immediately.
