Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Egg whites
- 1 piece Whole egg
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 pieces Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole egg, and low-fat Greek yogurt until well combined. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
Heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped green onions and red bell pepper, sautéing until they are tender, around 3-4 minutes.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the edges of the omelet towards the center while tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Continue this process for another 2-3 minutes until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over one half of the omelet, then carefully fold the other half over to cover.
Allow the omelet to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve the desired consistency.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, cut into halves, and serve immediately.
