Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4–5 egg whites
- 1/4 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced
- 2 tbsp onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp mushrooms, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
Optional Add-Ons
- Low-fat cheese, as desired
- Fresh herbs like parsley or chives
- Chili flakes
- Avocado slices
- Whole-grain toast
Instructions
- Prep your veggies: Wash and chop all vegetables into small, even pieces to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.
- Heat the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Sauté vegetables: Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened, then add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Add egg whites: Pour the egg whites evenly over the sautéed vegetables. Tilt the pan to spread the egg whites uniformly.
- Season and cook: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and optional herbs or chili flakes on top. Let the omelet cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes or until the egg whites are fully set.
- Fold and finish: Gently fold the omelet in half and cook for another minute to allow it to set fully. Slide the omelet onto a plate to serve.
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan to avoid sticking without needing too much oil.
- Avoid overcooking as egg whites can become rubbery if cooked too long.
- Feel free to experiment with seasonal vegetables for variety and added nutrients.
- For extra flavor and texture, sprinkle low-fat cheese or add avocado slices on top before serving.
- Serve with whole-grain toast for a more substantial breakfast.
