Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 3 ounces lean ham
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 spray olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Chop the lean ham into small cubes. Dice the red and green bell peppers, and finely chop the red onion.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk until well combined. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the diced ham to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Add the red onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for another 3 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the baby spinach to the pan and cook for an additional minute, until wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg white mixture over the vegetables and ham in the pan. Allow it to sit without stirring for about 30 seconds.
Using a spatula, gently stir and scramble the eggs, cooking slowly to ensure they remain tender. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still moist, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from heat promptly to prevent overcooking. Serve immediately on warm plates and enjoy your healthy, low-fat breakfast!
