Lately, I have been getting a little sick of my typical breakfast food items. Sometimes oatmeal just doesn't cut it for me. So I had eggs and spinach in my refrigerator and I said to myself, "Self, you should tots (pronounced "totes" as in totally) make a spinach omelet for breakfast!" So I did:
1 egg plus 2 egg whites beaten
1 big handful of fresh spinach
2 T. red onion, small dice
1/4 c. greek yogurt
salt and pepper
1 heat resistant rubber spatula
Heat a 6-inch non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Spray in some cooking spray and sauté onion until translucent. Rinse the spinach and place it in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on high for 30 seconds, take it out of the microwave, and allow to cool. Once the spinach is cool, squeeze out all the water.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and add eggs. Using the tip of the spatula, pull in the sides of the omelet slightly and and tip the pan so that the runny part of the egg fills in the gap made by the spatula. Work your This will make your omelet fluffy and will also help to cook faster. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the omelet is no longer runny on top, add the spinach and flip in half. Cook on each side until the inside of the omelet is fully cooked. About a minute before cooking is complete, spread the yogurt on top of the omelet to warm up a little bit.
And that's it. Super tasty omelet action and only 170 calories, yes!!!!!
