A light, fluffy egg white omelette packed with fresh vegetables for a quick and healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites (about 120 ml)
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers (red or yellow)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the veggies: Wash and dice bell peppers, halve cherry tomatoes, chop spinach and green onions, and mince garlic.
  2. Cook the vegetables: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds), add bell peppers and green onions and cook until slightly softened (about 2 minutes). Add spinach and cherry tomatoes and cook until spinach wilts (about 1 minute). Season with salt and pepper. Remove veggies from skillet and set aside.
  3. Whisk the egg whites: In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until slightly frothy.
  4. Cook the egg whites: Reduce heat to medium-low and pour egg whites into the skillet. Spread evenly and cook gently without stirring until edges set but top is still slightly wet (2-3 minutes). Pop any bubbles gently with a spatula.
  5. Add veggies and fold: Spoon sautéed veggies over one half of the egg whites. Fold the other half over the filling and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm through. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

Cook egg whites on medium-low heat to avoid rubbery texture. Sauté veggies just until tender to prevent sogginess. Use a non-stick skillet for best results. You can swap veggies based on availability. For extra protein or creaminess, fold in cottage cheese or ricotta after cooking.
