Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 unit Small red bell pepper
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 5 units Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the spinach leaves.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are slightly frothy. This will introduce air into the eggs, making your omelet lighter.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl the pan to coat evenly.
Step 4
Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, until they start to soften.
Step 5
Add the spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften.
Step 6
Pour the egg whites over the cooked vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the omelet cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the egg whites are fully cooked and set.
Step 8
Sprinkle the low-fat feta cheese evenly over half of the omelet.
Step 9
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half and let it cook for another 1 minute, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
Step 10
Carefully slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
