Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Spinach
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Bell pepper (any color, finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and low-fat milk until frothy. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the bell pepper and red onion, slice the mushrooms, and rinse the spinach.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
Add the red onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the spinach and cherry tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts slightly.
Pour the whisked egg whites evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Tilt the skillet gently to spread the egg whites evenly across the surface.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half and transfer it onto a plate.
Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthy, low-fat veggie omelet!
