Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup, diced Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup, diced Green bell pepper
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped Onion
- 0.5 cup, diced Cooked ham
- 0.5 cup, shredded Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 short spray Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, lightly whisk together the egg whites, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Prepare a non-stick skillet by heating it over medium heat. Coat the skillet with a short spray of non-stick cooking spray.
Add the diced red and green bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the diced ham, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Evenly distribute the vegetable and ham mixture in the skillet before pouring the egg white mixture over the top.
Allow the omelet to cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes or until the edges start to lift from the skillet.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese over half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half to cover the cheese, allowing it to melt inside.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are fully set, then remove the omelet from the skillet.
Cut the omelet in half and serve immediately, enjoying a satisfying and low-fat breakfast option.
