- Bell peppers 0.5 cup
- Onions 0.5 cup
- Whole grain English muffin 1 piece
- Olive oil 1 teaspoon
- Salt to taste

Method
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
