Healthy Egg White Omelette Recipe
An egg white omelette is a nutritious and protein-packed breakfast option that's low in calories and cholesterol.
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp grated low-fat cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil for the pan
Instructions
- Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. You can do this by cracking the eggs and transferring the egg whites into a clean bowl while discarding the yolks.
- Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until they become slightly frothy. This will make your omelette light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, combine the diced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and chopped spinach. These colorful vegetables will add flavor and nutrients to your omelette.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. You can use cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Once the pan is heated, pour in the whisked egg whites. Allow them to cook undisturbed for a minute or two until the edges start to set.
- Sprinkle the vegetable mixture evenly over one-half of the omelette.
- Season the egg whites with salt and pepper. Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the vegetables, creating a half-moon shape.
- Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes or until the omelette is fully set, but still slightly fluffy in the center.
- If you're using cheese, sprinkle it over the omelette just before folding it in half. The residual heat will melt the cheese.
- Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, and it's ready to serve. Garnish with extra fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce if desired.
