Ingredients

• 4 large Egg whites
• 1 cup Shredded cabbage
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Spinach, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and low-fat milk until frothy. Stir in salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to taste.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the shredded cabbage and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the cabbage starts to wilt.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet, evenly covering the vegetables. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette to let any uncooked egg whites flow to the edges. Cook until the omelette is set and no longer runny, about another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Sprinkle fresh parsley on top of the omelette.

Step 8

Carefully fold the omelette in half using the spatula, then slide it onto a serving plate.

Step 9

Serve the omelette immediately, garnished with an extra sprinkle of parsley if desired.
