Ingredients
- 6 large eggs egg whites
- 4 slices reduced-fat deli ham
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 1 spray olive oil cooking spray
- 8 halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 chopped green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites and low-fat milk until frothy. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 3
Add the chopped green onions to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet. Allow to cook for about 2–3 minutes, gently stirring occasionally with a spatula to allow uncooked portions to flow to the edges.
Step 5
Once the egg whites begin to set, add the reduced-fat deli ham slices, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach across the surface.
Step 6
Continue to cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Step 7
Once fully cooked, fold the egg mixture over, creating an omelet, and remove from heat.
Step 8
Divide the omelet portions between two plates and serve immediately.
