Ingredients

• 4 whole Egg Whites
• 1 medium Bell Pepper
• 0.5 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
• 1 cup Spinach
• 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Skim Milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the bell pepper and spinach thoroughly under running water.

Step 2

Dice the bell pepper into small, equally-sized pieces for uniform cooking.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Stir the diced bell pepper, black pepper, and salt into the egg mixture.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, spreading it evenly across the surface.

Step 6

Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until wilted.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring the bell peppers are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges of the omelette begin to set.

Step 9

Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.

Step 10

Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half, covering the cheese.

Step 11

Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the eggs to cook through.

Step 12

Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
