This yolkless omelet packed with spinach and low-fat cottage cheese is a healthy start to the day.
Ingredients
-
3 large egg whites
-
Coarse salt and ground pepper
-
1 teaspoon olive oil
-
1 cup packed baby spinach
-
¼ cup low-fat (1%) cottage cheese
-
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites and 1 tablespoon water; season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
-
In a medium nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add spinach, and season with salt and pepper; cook until wilted and tender, 1 minute. Add egg whites; cook until nearly set, using a flexible heatproof spatula to pull sides of omelet toward center as uncooked egg whites run underneath, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Dollop cottage cheese on top of omelet, sprinkle with Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. Gently slide omelet onto a serving plate, folding it over on itself by tipping skillet slightly.
