How to make a tasty egg white omelet

We hear it all the time. If we want to be healthy dieters, we should add an egg white omelet to our eating repertoire. But the thought of a yokeless omelet tends to make many of us cringe thinking about its lack of taste. I want to share with you a way to use an egg white as a blank canvas for a delicious and nutritious meal.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• eggs
• a favorite brand of your reduced fat cheese
• favorite type of veggies (I prefer mushrooms and asparagus)
• Canadian bacon (optional)
• milk (optional)
• black pepper
• salsa
• deep bowl
• fork and spatula
• small circular pan

1. Gather all for your ingredients and place your pan on top of your oven. Turn the on heat to low to warm up your pan. While you pan is heating prepare your choice of vegetables by washing and cutting them.

2. After preparing your vegetables, spray the pan liberally with a nonfat cooking spray (even its a nonstick pan). Then drop your vegetables into the pan and turn your heat up to a low-medium. Crack an egg open keeping the yoke in its shell while letting the whites pour into your bowl. You are going to crack 3 eggs in total, removing only the whites and tossing the yokes. You can add a drop of milk and black pepper at this point and then whisk the whites with your folk a few times to blend it. The egg whites won't whisk like yokes so don't be alarmed.

3. When your vegetables are almost fully cooked but still slightly crunchy, dump them on the plate and then respray your pan. Pour your egg whites in your pan and then wait until you see the edges turning slightly brown. After this you will add back the vegetables and Canadian bacon (if using this).

4. When your egg whites start to visibly turn from liquid to solid on the top, add your cheese. When your cheese starts to melt, fold over one side of the egg whites with your spatula to make an omelet. Press down on the top to make sure the cheese sticks the sides together. Flip the omelet and press down on the other side.

5. Serve your omelet with a side of salsa and/or Tabasco sauce rather than sugary ketchup. You can add some whole grain toast or some fruit as a nice side dish.

6. Enjoy!
