Ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 0.5 red bell pepper
  • 0.5 cup mushrooms
  • 0.25 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.125 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons green onions

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and water until frothy. This helps create a light and fluffy omelette.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender.

Step 3

Add spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.

Step 4

Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the egg whites spread evenly over the vegetables.

Step 5

Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese, black pepper, and salt evenly over the cooking omelette.

Step 6

Cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to set. Gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan so that the uncooked egg flows underneath.

Step 7

Once the omelette is mostly set but slightly runny on top, sprinkle the sliced green onions over half of the omelette.

Step 8

Carefully fold the omelette in half with the spatula and cook for another minute to let the cheese melt completely.

Step 9

Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast!
