A quick and easy healthy egg white omelet packed with fresh veggies and melty cheese, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (~180 ml / 3/4 cup)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (30 g)
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (75 g)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (75 g)
  • 2 tbsp onion, finely chopped (20 g)
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat cheese, shredded (28 g) – cheddar, mozzarella, or feta
  • 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray (5 ml)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (optional, chopped parsley or chives)

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: rinse and chop the spinach, dice the bell peppers, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the onion.
  2. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper until slightly frothy and homogenous.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or cooking spray, coating the surface evenly.
  4. Sauté the onion and bell peppers for about 2 minutes until softened but not browned. Add spinach and cherry tomatoes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove veggies from pan and set aside.
  5. Pour the whisked egg whites into the warm skillet, spreading evenly. Cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until edges set but center is slightly runny.
  6. Spoon the sautéed veggies over one half of the omelet and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Add herbs if using.
  7. Fold the omelet in half over the filling and cook for another minute until cheese melts and egg whites are fully set but tender.
  8. Slide the omelet onto a warmed plate and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh egg whites for best texture. Avoid overcrowding the filling to prevent tearing. Cook veggies just until softened but still crisp. Use moderate heat to avoid browning or rubbery egg whites. Use a silicone spatula for gentle folding. If omelet sticks, lower heat and add a bit more oil.
