Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs Egg whites
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Green bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Yellow onion
- 0.25 cup Cooked turkey or chicken breast (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat shredded cheese
- 1 handful Fresh spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
Instructions
Finely dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Set them aside.
If using cooked turkey or chicken breast, chop it into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy. Add salt and black pepper to season.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with a spray of olive oil.
Add the diced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
If using meat, add the chopped turkey or chicken breast to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1 additional minute.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked egg whites over the vegetables and meat in the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute the egg evenly.
Place the handful of fresh spinach over one side of the omelette and sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheese on top of the spinach.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the omelette cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese is melted.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half to enclose the filling and slide it onto a plate.
Serve hot and enjoy your Low Fat Western Omelette!
