Ingredients
Scale
Egg Whites and Vegetables
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion (optional)
Cooking and Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- 1 tablespoon crumbled feta or shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet: Heat the olive oil or lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. If using, add the chopped onion and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Cook vegetables: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, allowing them to soften. Stir in the fresh baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
- Whisk egg whites: In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and black pepper until combined.
- Cook the scramble: Pour the egg whites into the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Let the eggs set slightly without stirring, then gently stir occasionally until the egg whites are fully cooked but still tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Finish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled feta or shredded mozzarella if desired. Serve the scramble hot for a nutritious breakfast.
Notes
- Serve with a slice of whole grain toast or wrap in a tortilla for a quick breakfast wrap.
- Add mushrooms or bell peppers for extra vegetables and enhanced flavor.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the cheese topping.
- Adjust seasoning with more or less salt and pepper according to taste.
