Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spray cooking spray
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 small jalapeño
Instructions
Prepare the salsa first. Dice the tomato, finely chop the red onion, and coarsely chop the fresh cilantro.
For less heat, remove the seeds and finely chop the jalapeño. Keep the seeds if you prefer your salsa spicier.
In a bowl, combine diced tomato, chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together egg whites, skim milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spray a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
Pour the egg white mixture into the heated pan, allowing it to cook without stirring until it begins to set around the edges.
Gently stir the eggs using a spatula, allowing the uncooked parts to flow to the edges. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and slightly creamy.
Divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates and top each portion with an equal amount of the prepared salsa. Serve immediately.
