Ingredients

12 large egg whites (from fresh eggs or a carton — about 1½ cups liquid egg whites)
1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped (wilts down significantly, so don’t be shy)
½ cup red bell pepper, finely diced (adds sweetness and vitamin C)
½ cup cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced (use any variety you prefer)
¼ cup red onion, finely diced (yellow onion works just as well)
¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional but adds a fresh, bright pop)
¼ cup reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled (or omit entirely to keep it dairy-free)
1 teaspoon olive oil, divided (for cooking the veggies and the omelette)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish — chives, parsley, or basil all work beautifully

How to Make Veggie Egg White Omelette

Prep your egg whites. If cracking fresh eggs, separate the whites into a medium bowl, discarding the yolks or saving them for another use. Season the egg whites with garlic powder, smoked paprika, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until slightly frothy — this adds a little air and helps the omelette stay light and tender.
Sauté the vegetables. Heat ½ teaspoon of olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and bell pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes until they release their moisture. Stir in the spinach and cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 minute until the spinach is just wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then transfer the veggie mixture to a plate and set aside.
Cook the omelette base. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to medium-low heat. Add the remaining ½ teaspoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Pour in the seasoned egg whites all at once. Let them sit undisturbed for about 60 seconds until the edges begin to set, then use a silicone spatula to gently pull the cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan so uncooked egg white flows to the edges. Repeat this process until the surface is mostly set but still looks slightly glossy on top.
