Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 0.5 medium, diced Red bell pepper
- 1 cup, loosely packed Spinach leaves
- 4 halved Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup, sliced Mushrooms
- 1 stalk, thinly sliced Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 2 sprays Olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and low-fat milk until frothy. Season with salt and black pepper.
Prepare the vegetables: dice the bell pepper, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the mushrooms, and chop the green onions.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil spray (two sprays are sufficient).
Add the diced bell pepper and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes, and green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg white mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the omelette cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and cooked through.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a plate.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions or a side of fresh salad if desired.
