Ingredients
- 6 large egg whites

- 1 cup spinach
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 0.5 medium onion
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Chop the red bell pepper and onion into small, even pieces.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and low-fat milk, whisking them together until just frothy.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
Step 5
Add the red bell pepper to the skillet and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the spinach leaves, cooking until they just wilt.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables, and use a spatula to gently scramble the eggs by pushing them from the sides towards the center of the pan.
Step 8
Season the scramble with salt and black pepper, cooking until the eggs are set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 9
Remove from heat, and garnish the scramble with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately with a slice of whole-grain toast or a small bowl of fruit for a complete heart-healthy meal.
