Ingredients
3/4 cup liquid egg whites
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup diced bell peppers
1/4 cup fresh spinach
2 tablespoons shredded feta or mozzarella cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes or fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
Whisk the egg whites in a bowl until they become frothy to incorporate air
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat
Add the diced vegetables to the skillet and sauté until they are softened and lightly caramelized
Pour the whisked egg whites over the vegetables in the pan
Allow the whites to set slightly then gently lift the edges to let uncooked whites flow underneath
Once firm but tender sprinkle with cheese and fold the omelette in half
Slide onto a plate and serve immediately
Notes
Ensure your non-stick skillet is properly heated before adding the egg whites to prevent sticking
For extra fluffiness use an electric hand mixer for a few seconds to achieve peak frothiness
You can customize the filling with any non-pork vegetables or lean proteins you have on hand
