Recipe Of The Week 3/9: High Protein Omelet

Yields: 1 serving

Ingredients:

• olive oil spray
• 1 large egg
• 1⁄2 cup egg whites
• 2 tablespoons fresh spinach, chopped
• 2 tablespoons red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 tablespoon red onions or scallions, chopped
• 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1⁄3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded or cheese of your choice

Directions:

• Lightly beat egg and egg whites with a fork in a small bowl. Add all the vegetables and season with salt and pepper and mix well.
• Heat a 9 or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When hot spray with oil and add the eggs and let them sit to start cooking. Use a heatproof silicone or rubber spatula to gently lift the edges of the cooked eggs from the
  pan and allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges of the pan and cook.
• Once the eggs are set, add your cheese along the center of the eggs. Let it set for a few seconds, then use your spatula to fold the edges over the omelette on both sides to the center and serve immediately. Enjoy!
