Ingredients
Tomato Spinach Filling
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 small shallot minced
- ¼ cup quartered cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped spinach
- 1 pinch each: salt and pepper
Egg White Omelette
- 3 egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch each: salt and pepper
- 2 teaspoons butter
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Minced chives or green onions to serve
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes, until it is translucent. Add the tomatoes, spinach, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook until the tomatoes are warm and the spinach wilts. Set the filling aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You want there to be a few foamy bubbles, but it should still be liquid underneath them.
- Melt the butter in a medium-sized frying pan over medium-low heat. When the butter starts to bubble, pour the egg whites into the pan and swirl the pan to spread them out. Cover the pan with a lid and let the egg whites cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, or until they are no longer wet on top. You may want to carefully touch the top of the omelette if you're unsure if the egg whites are cooked. They will still look a bit foamy but they won't feel wet or sticky.
- Add the cheese to one half of the omelette then top the cheese with the filling. Carefully fold the omelette in half then put the lid back on the pan for 1 minute to let the cheese melt. Serve the egg white omelette with some minced chives over top.
