Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg whites
- 3 tablespoons Skim milk
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 medium, diced Tomato
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack four eggs and add two additional egg whites. Beat together until well combined.
Add the skim milk, salt, and black pepper to the beaten eggs. Mix well and set aside.
Spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it softens.
Add the diced tomato to the onion and cook for another 2 minutes until the tomato has softened slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables.
Gently stir the mixture with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan and folding it over itself until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
Once the eggs are set but still slightly moist, remove them from the heat. Top with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of whole grain bread or as is for a light, low-fat meal.
