Spinach & Brie Egg-White Omelette
Ingredients
- ½ tbsp olive oil & cooking spray
- 2 tbsp yellow onion, chopped
- 1-1.5 cups fresh baby spinach leaves (spinach will cook down a LOT!)
- ½ cup egg whites
- 1 oz brie cheese (substitute low-fat feta if preferred)
Instructions
Spinach Mixture
- Heat the olive oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Add chopped onion. Season with salt & pepper. Sauté until tender (about 2-3 min).
- Add in the spinach, season with salt & pepper. Sautee until the spinach begins to wilt.
- Add 1TB of water – turn heat down to low & cover for about 1 minute. This allows the spinach to wilt down quicker. I’m not patient.
- Remove to a plate, while you make the omelette.
Omelette
- Over medium heat, add the egg whites to the non-stick pan (a little cooking spray may be needed). As eggs cook, gently push sides towards center of pan, tipping the pan to allow excess liquid to flow underneath.
- Once the top of the omelet is just a little liquid-y, flip it. Remove from heat and add your fillings: Brie + spinach mixture. The remaining heat will melt the brie & warm the fillings.
- Serve with fresh honeydew melon, cantaloupe or your favorite citrus fruit!
