Whip up a light and fluffy breakfast or brunch with this protein-packed Egg White Omelet for Two, featuring a rainbow of fresh, nutrient-rich vegetables. Made with tender spinach, juicy diced tomatoes, and earthy mushrooms, this low-calorie dish is seasoned to perfection and can be elevated with a sprinkle of low-fat shredded cheese. Perfect for health-conscious diners, this omelet ditches the yolks for a lean, airy texture, while olive oil adds a subtle richness to the sautéed veggies. Ready in just 20 minutes, it's an easy, gluten-free recipe that pairs beautifully with whole-grain toast or a vibrant fruit salad. Whether you’re meal-prepping or indulging in a leisurely start to your day, this satisfying dish is packed with flavor and versatility.
Separate 8 egg whites from the yolks and place the whites in a medium-sized mixing bowl. (Save the yolks for another recipe, if desired.)
Whisk the egg whites with a fork or whisk until slightly frothy. Add 2 tablespoons of milk (if using), 0.25 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of ground black pepper. Whisk again to combine.
Prepare your vegetables by washing and drying 1 cup of fresh spinach, dicing 1 medium tomato, and slicing 0.5 cups of mushrooms.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, or use cooking spray to coat the pan evenly.
Once the skillet is hot, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the spinach and cook for another minute, until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked egg whites into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread them evenly. Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to set around the edges.
Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables and diced tomato over one half of the omelet. If using low-fat shredded cheese, sprinkle 0.25 cups over the vegetables.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings using a silicone spatula. Press gently to seal and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the omelet is fully set and the cheese (if added) is melted.
Slide the omelet onto a cutting board or large plate and cut it in half to serve two portions.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as whole-grain toast or a fresh fruit salad. Enjoy!
