Recipe Name: Egg White Omelet with Toast
Ingredients:
- 6 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon non-fat milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach
- 2 tablespoons diced onions
- 1/4 cup shredded low-fat cheese (optional)
- 2 slices of whole-grain bread
Directions:
- Whisk together the egg whites, non-fat milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until frothy.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet, sautéing until soft and slightly caramelized.
- Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet, covering the vegetables evenly.
- Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg whites to flow to the edges.
- Once the omelet is almost set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the chopped spinach and shredded cheese (if using) over half of the omelet.
- Carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the fillings.
- Cook for another minute or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully set.
- Toast the whole-grain bread to your desired level of crispiness.
How to Prepare:
Ensure your ingredients are prepped and ready to go before cooking the omelet. This includes dicing the vegetables and having the egg whites at room temperature for better volume. Use a good-quality, non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and simplify flipping.
