Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg Whites
- 1 cup Fresh Spinach
- 1 ounce Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 sprays Olive Oil Spray
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites and water. Whisk until well blended and slightly frothy.
Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture, and whisk again to incorporate the seasonings.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray it with olive oil spray to lightly coat the bottom.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and set it aside.
Re-spray the skillet with olive oil spray if necessary, and pour the egg white mixture into the skillet, tilting it to distribute evenly.
Cook the egg whites for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set and pull away slightly from the sides of the pan.
Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Place the sautéed spinach on top of the cheese.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half, and serve immediately.
