Ingredients

  • Egg whites 6 large
  • Bell peppers 0.5 cup
  • Onions 0.5 cup
  • Whole grain English muffin 1 piece
  • Olive oil 1 teaspoon
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Wash the bell peppers and onion thoroughly. Chop the bell peppers and onions into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
    Tip: Use a sharp knife to make chopping easier and safer.
  2. Sauté the vegetables. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bell peppers and onions. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
    Tip: Don't rush this step; sautéing brings out the sweetness in the veggies.
  3. Prepare the egg whites. While the vegetables are cooking, separate the egg whites if using whole eggs, or measure out 6 large egg whites. Lightly whisk the egg whites in a bowl until slightly frothy.
    Tip: Whisking introduces air, making the omelette fluffy.
  4. Cook the omelette. Once the vegetables are ready, spread them evenly in the skillet. Pour the whisked egg whites over the vegetables. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes until the egg whites are set and cooked through.
    Tip: Cover the skillet with a lid to help the top cook evenly.
  5. Season and fold. Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste. Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a plate.
    Tip: Be gentle to avoid breaking the omelette.
  6. Toast the English muffin. While the omelette is cooking, split the whole grain English muffin in half and toast it in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown.
    Tip: Toast just before serving to keep it crisp.
  7. Serve. Serve the egg white omelette hot with the toasted English muffin on the side. Enjoy your nutritious breakfast!
    Tip: Add a small spread of avocado or light butter on the muffin if desired.

Pro tips

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelette from sticking and breaking.
  • You can add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer, substitute bell peppers and onions with other veggies like spinach or mushrooms.
