Egg White Omelette Ingredients

▪️ ½ cup fresh spinach, chopped
▪️ ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
▪️ 1 tablespoon olive oil

How to make Egg White Omelette

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes. Sauté until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften, about 3 minutes.

Step 2: While the vegetables are cooking, separate the egg whites from the yolks and whisk them in a bowl until slightly frothy.

Step 3: Pour the whisked egg whites over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, ensuring an even layer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Cook the omelette for about 3-4 minutes until the egg whites are set on the bottom. Use a spatula to lift the edges occasionally.

Step 5: Carefully fold the omelette in half and continue to cook for another minute to ensure it is cooked through.

Step 6: Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
