Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3/4 cup Pasteurized Egg White
Vegetables
- 1/4 cup Onion, diced
- 1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
Other Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Cheese (shredded or crumbled)
- 2 Fresh Basil Leaves
- Salt, to taste
- Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat Vegetables: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, sautéing them until they become soft and fragrant. Next, add the fresh baby spinach and stir until it starts to wilt. Season the vegetable mixture with salt and ground black pepper according to your taste.
- Cook Egg Whites: Pour the 3/4 cup of pasteurized egg whites evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the pan. Using a rubber spatula, gently lift the edges of the egg whites so that the uncooked liquid flows underneath, allowing for even cooking.
- Add Cheese and Basil: Once the egg whites are just set, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cheese and place 2 fresh basil leaves over one half of the omelette. This will add flavor and a nice melt to the dish.
- Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula to encase the fillings. Transfer it to a plate and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with sliced avocado or additional fresh herbs for extra freshness and nutrients.
Notes
- Using pasteurized egg whites ensures food safety while keeping the omelette light.
- You can substitute the cheese with your favorite type such as feta, mozzarella, or cheddar.
- Add extra vegetables like mushrooms or tomatoes for more variety.
- Serve with whole grain toast or avocado slices for a balanced meal.
- To make it vegan, substitute egg whites with chickpea flour batter and omit cheese.
