Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 0.5 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 0.25 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 slices, chopped into small pieces low-fat turkey or chicken ham
- 2 tablespoons low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 light spray olive oil spray
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients by dicing the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Chop the low-fat turkey or chicken ham into small pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt and black pepper until frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with olive oil spray.
Once the skillet is heated, add the diced red and green bell peppers, diced onion, and chopped turkey or chicken ham. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the ham is lightly browned.
Reduce the heat to low-medium and pour the whisked egg whites over the sautéed mixture. Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute.
Stir gently with a spatula, folding the eggs into the vegetable and ham mixture as they cook. Continue stirring occasionally for another 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are fully cooked but still tender.
Sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the scramble and let it melt for 30 seconds. Gently fold the cheese into the scramble.
Transfer the Western Skinny Scramble to a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
