Ingredients

• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cup liquid egg whites
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup red bell pepper (diced)
• 0.25 cup green bell pepper (diced)
• 0.25 cup yellow onion (diced)
• 1 cup baby spinach (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk in the liquid egg whites until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula, scrambling the eggs with the vegetables.

Step 5

Continue to cook and scramble for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredder low-fat cheddar cheese on top, and stir it into the scramble until melted.

Step 7

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the scramble to a plate and serve immediately.
