This delicious omelet is a twist on the traditional French version and
incorporates the low-fat alternative of egg whites. Filled with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and onions, this
breakfast dish is loaded with protein and the antioxidant vitamins C and E.
INGREDIENTS * 1/4 cup small baby mushrooms, sliced * 2 tablespoons light olive oil * 6 egg whites * 1/4 cup nonfat milk * Salt and pepper to taste * Nonstick cooking spray or low-fat butter * 1 cup prewashed baby spinach
DIRECTIONS 1. Saute vegetables together or one at a time in a nonstick pan with olive oil until desired doneness. 2. Remove as much moisture as possible from the spinach, and set vegetables aside. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together egg whites, nonfat milk, and salt and pepper. 4. In a well-greased pan preheated over medium heat, add egg white mixture. Stir and then reduce heat to medium-low. 5. Let egg mixture cook until firm. (Cooking the eggs at a low temperature will ensure a soft, fluffy omelet). 6. Remove from heat and top with sautéed vegetables. Fold in half, slide omelet into plate, and enjoy. Tip: If you prefer your eggs to be yellow, adding a dash of tumeric will provide color without changing the taste. Makes 1 serving
