A quick, tasty, and high-protein egg white omelette perfect for post-workout recovery and a healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 6 fl oz / 180 ml)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley or chives), chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop the spinach, dice the red bell pepper, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the onion. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the 6 large egg whites until frothy and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Swirl to coat the surface evenly.
  4. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook for about 2 minutes until they start softening. Then add the spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and tomatoes release juice. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the sautéed veggies evenly in the pan and pour the beaten egg whites over them. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until edges set and bottom is lightly golden.
  6. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped herbs over one half of the omelette.
  7. Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half over the cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt and inside finish cooking. The omelette should be set but still tender and moist inside.
  8. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Optionally add extra black pepper or hot sauce.

Notes

Use fresh egg whites for best texture. Cook over medium-low heat to avoid rubbery texture. Sauté veggies first to remove excess water and prevent sogginess. Fold gently to avoid breaking the omelette. Adjust seasoning after cooking. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use plant-based alternatives.
