Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
- 1 small, finely chopped Yellow onion
- 1 medium, diced Tomato
- 2 cups, fresh Spinach
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons, fresh Chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Sauté minced garlic in the skillet for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and chopped yellow onion to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become tender.
Stir in the diced tomato and fresh spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomato softens.
In a mixing bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until frothy, then pour them evenly over the vegetable mixture in the skillet.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt over the top of the mixture.
Using a spatula, stir gently as the egg whites cook, creating soft, fluffy curds. This should take about 3 minutes.
Once the egg whites are fully cooked but still moist, remove the skillet from heat.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with crusty bread or enjoy as is!
