Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 4 large egg whites (or 2/3 cup liquid egg whites)
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Vegetables & Cheese
- 1/4 cup diced red bell peppers
- 2 Tbsp sliced green onion (light portion only)
- 6 medium grape tomatoes (or 8 small, halved)
- 1 cup packed (1.5 oz) baby spinach, chopped
- 2 Tbsp crumbled feta cheese
Other
- Avocado oil cooking spray (or olive oil cooking spray)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, add the egg whites. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the egg whites. Whisk thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat a 10 or 12-inch non-stick pan over medium heat and spray generously with avocado oil cooking spray. Add the diced red bell peppers and sliced green onions. Sauté for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add tomatoes and spinach: Add the halved grape tomatoes to the pan and sauté for 1 minute. Then, add the chopped baby spinach. Remove the pan from heat, spray a little more avocado oil cooking spray over the spinach, and return the pan to the heat. Sauté until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Cook the omelette: Pour the egg white mixture evenly over the vegetables in the pan, tilting it to coat the surface. Let the egg cook while occasionally lifting the edges with a spatula so any runny egg white flows underneath to cook evenly. Reduce the heat to low, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top, cover the pan, and let cook until the omelette is set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Fold and serve: Using a large spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a plate. Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious egg white omelette.
Notes
- You can substitute feta with any other cheese of your choice or omit it to reduce fat content.
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or basil to add additional flavor.
- For a fluffier omelette, you may whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy before cooking.
- This recipe is easily doubled if cooking for more than one person.
- Ensure to use a non-stick pan and cooking spray to prevent sticking without adding much oil.
