Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs worth Egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 whole Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 ounce Feta cheese
- 1 small Red onion
- 5 leaves Basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Separate the egg whites from six large eggs and place them in a mixing bowl. Ensure no yolks are mixed in.
Beat the egg whites with a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks form. This will help the omelette remain fluffy.
Finely dice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Crumble the feta cheese.
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced red onion to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.
Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves to the skillet, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and the spinach is wilted.
Pour the whipped egg whites over the sautéed vegetables, ensuring they are evenly spread across the skillet.
Season the egg whites with salt and black pepper.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the egg mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the omelette to cook gently for about 3-4 minutes. The egg whites should set and the omelette should be cooked through but still moist.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before folding the omelette in half using a spatula.
Serve immediately with a side of whole grain bread or a simple mixed greens salad for an authentic Mediterranean experience.
