Ingredients
4 egg whites
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced tomatoes, spinach, and mushrooms. Sauté until the spinach wilts and the mushrooms are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour the egg whites over the vegetables in the skillet, tilting the pan to spread them evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the edges start to lift from the pan.
- Sprinkle feta cheese over one half of the omelet. Carefully fold the other half over the cheese and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the omelet is fully set.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
Key Prep Tips
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, and bell peppers for maximum flavor and nutrition.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Whisk the egg whites until frothy to achieve a light, fluffy texture.
- Non-Stick Pan: Use a non-stick skillet to ensure the omelet doesn’t stick and flips easily.
- Low Heat: Cook on medium-low heat to prevent the egg whites from browning too quickly.
- Even Distribution: Spread the veggies evenly across the pan for consistent bites throughout the omelet.
Suggested Variations
- Add Protein: Include diced cooked chicken or turkey for an extra protein boost.
- Herbal Infusion: Add fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or dill to enhance the flavor.
- Cheese Variety: Substitute feta with goat cheese, shredded cheddar, or mozzarella for different textures and flavors.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of chili flakes or drizzle with hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Keto-Friendly Twist: Swap tomatoes with low-carb veggies like mushrooms or zucchini.
Serving Suggestions
- With Whole-Grain Toast: Pair with a slice of whole-grain toast for a balanced breakfast.
- Over Mixed Greens: Serve the omelet over a fresh salad for a light, protein-packed lunch.
- As a Wrap: Fold the omelet into a whole-grain tortilla for a portable breakfast wrap.
- Topped with Avocado: Add sliced avocado on top for a creamy, healthy fat addition.
- Side of Fresh Fruit: Complement the dish with a side of fresh fruit like berries or orange slices for a refreshing contrast.
