Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup liquid egg whites
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup green bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup yellow onion (diced)
- 1 cup baby spinach (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk in the liquid egg whites until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula, scrambling the eggs with the vegetables.
Continue to cook and scramble for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.
Sprinkle the shredder low-fat cheddar cheese on top, and stir it into the scramble until melted.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the scramble to a plate and serve immediately.
