Calories: 276kcal
Equipment
- 10 inch non stick frying pan (9 inch also works)
Ingredients
- 3 egg whites large, room temperature 100g
- 3 tablespoon parmesan ready grated, 15g
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ cup red pepper small cubes (75g)
- 2 spring onions 35g
- 1 cup spinach 30g
Instructions
- Add the egg whites to a large mixing bowl and whisk with an electric whisk until fluffy and increased in size by 50%. This takes about 1 minute. Then, whisk in the parmesan, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the peppers for 1 - 2 minutes on medium heat until just soft, then the spring onions and spinach until wilted, about 1 minute.
- Pour the cooked veggies into egg white mixture and stir to combine.
- Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan to prevent sticking. Then, pour in the veggie egg mix and swirl the pan around to coat the bottom. Reduce the heat to low.
- Cook the omelette on low heat or until just set on top or to your liking. Mine took 7 - 8 minutes without moving the egg mixture during cooking. Option to flip and cook for 30 more seconds to brown the other side (see tips in the notes). Fold into a half-moon shape and serve.
Notes
6.6g net carbs. Makes one omelette that serves 1.
You can use fresh egg whites or egg whites from a carton.
Option to place a lid on the pan during cooking to speed up the process.
Cooking the omelette in a 9 inch pan takes a little longer.
How to flip an omelette: Place a large dinner plate on top of the frying pan. Turn the pan upside down to flip the omelette onto the plate. Then, slide it back into the frying pan, cooked side up.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
