Omelets are the perfect meal for any time of day. They are great because they are fast and you can throw anything you want into them. This healthy omelet can be made with either all egg whites or with one whole egg and the rest egg whites. I love egg whites and most of my omelets are made with only egg whites. I usually take between 2-3 egg whites and throw peppers, onions, cheese, meat, etc. you get the picture. This recipe has the creamy laughing cow cheese that melts and brings great flavor to the omelet. Serve it with some yummy whole wheat/whole grain bread and you have the perfect energizing meal to go do anything:)
Ingredients:
- 1 whole egg
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon water or milk
- kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
- pinch of garlic powder
- 1 wedge Laughing Cow cheese, regular or garlic herb
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach leaves
- 3 marinated artichoke hearts, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Heat an 8-inch nonstick frying pan to medium heat. Whisk together egg, egg whites, and water, and add a sprinkle of salt, a few cracks of pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
Spray pan with nonstick spray (or brush with olive oil). Add egg mixture and swirl to coat bottom of pan. Use a rubber spatula to slowly scrape from the outside edge of the omelet inward, letting runny eggs flow to bottom of pan. Do this several times, then place a lid on the pan and turn heat to low. Cook until top is just barely set. Drop small dollops of Laughing Cow cheese on top, followed by chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle top with additional salt and pepper and then slide onto serving plate (either folded over, or open faced.)
