Description

This mushroom omelet is a hearty but healthy way to start your day, with mostly egg whites, fresh spinach, bell peppers, tomato, and two kinds of cheese.

Ingredients

3 large egg whites
1 large egg
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup diced green onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
1 cup torn fresh spinach
1/2 cup diced fresh tomato

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Whisk egg whites and egg together in a small bowl. Mix in Parmesan, Cheddar, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, nutmeg, and pepper.
3 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms, green onions, and bell pepper until tender, about 5 minutes.
4 Add spinach and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomato, then pour in egg mixture. As egg mixture starts to set, lift the edges and let the uncooked portion flow underneath.
5 Cook until egg mixture sets, 10 to 15 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
