Ingredients

• 4 large Egg whites
• 1 unit Small red bell pepper
• 1 cup Spinach leaves
• 5 units Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the spinach leaves.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are slightly frothy. This will introduce air into the eggs, making your omelet lighter.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl the pan to coat evenly.

Step 4

Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, until they start to soften.

Step 5

Add the spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften.

Step 6

Pour the egg whites over the cooked vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the omelet cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the egg whites are fully cooked and set.

Step 8

Sprinkle the low-fat feta cheese evenly over half of the omelet.

Step 9

Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half and let it cook for another 1 minute, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.

Step 10

Carefully slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
