Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 75 grams Low-fat ham
- 50 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Chopped chives
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites together with the low-fat milk until well combined.
Chop the low-fat ham into small, bite-sized pieces.
Grate the reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to cover the bottom evenly.
Cook for about 2 minutes, until the edges start to set, and then sprinkle the ham and cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the cheese melts and the omelette is fully cooked through.
Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
Serve immediately while hot.
