Egg White Omelette with Spinach and Feta Cheese

Ingredients

• Egg whites 6 large
• Fresh spinach 1 cup
• Feta cheese 1 oz
• Whole wheat bread 2 slices
• Olive oil 1 tsp

Method

1. Prepare Ingredients. Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Drain well and pat dry with a paper towel. Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces. Separate the egg whites from the yolks if not already separated.
   Tip: Use a salad spinner or paper towels to dry spinach well to avoid soggy omelette.
2. Toast the Bread. Place the two slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster or on a pan over medium heat and toast until golden brown and crisp. Set aside to serve with the omelette.
   Tip: Toast bread while preparing the omelette to save time.
3. Cook the Spinach. Heat half the olive oil (about 1/2 tsp) in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from pan and set aside.
   Tip: Cook spinach just until wilted to keep its bright green color and nutrients.
4. Cook the Omelette. Add the remaining olive oil (1/2 tsp) to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Pour the egg whites evenly into the pan. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until they begin to set around the edges.
   Tip: Use a non-stick pan and moderate heat to avoid sticking and browning.
5. Add Filling. Sprinkle the sautéed spinach evenly over one half of the egg whites. Then, evenly distribute the crumbled feta cheese on top of the spinach.
   Tip: Distribute filling evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
6. Fold Omelette and Finish Cooking. Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelette over the filled half. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese slightly melts.
   Tip: Cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt evenly.
7. Serve. Slide the omelette onto plates and serve immediately with the toasted whole wheat bread on the side.
   Tip: Add freshly ground black pepper or herbs if desired for extra flavor.

Pro tips

• Use fresh egg whites separated carefully to avoid yolk contamination for a cleaner taste and texture.
• Preheat your non-stick pan well before adding egg whites to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
