Ingredients

• 6 large eggs worth Egg whites
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 6 whole Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Spinach leaves
• 1 ounce Feta cheese
• 1 small Red onion
• 5 leaves Basil leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Separate the egg whites from six large eggs and place them in a mixing bowl. Ensure no yolks are mixed in.

Step 2

Beat the egg whites with a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks form. This will help the omelette remain fluffy.

Step 3

Finely dice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Crumble the feta cheese.

Step 4

In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the diced red onion to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.

Step 6

Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves to the skillet, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and the spinach is wilted.

Step 7

Pour the whipped egg whites over the sautéed vegetables, ensuring they are evenly spread across the skillet.

Step 8

Season the egg whites with salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the egg mixture.

Step 10

Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the omelette to cook gently for about 3-4 minutes. The egg whites should set and the omelette should be cooked through but still moist.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before folding the omelette in half using a spatula.

Step 12

Serve immediately with a side of whole grain bread or a simple mixed greens salad for an authentic Mediterranean experience.
