Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and red bell pepper if you haven't already.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks if you're using whole eggs.
- Add 2 teaspoons of coconut oil to a non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat until the oil is melted and the pan is hot.
- Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet.
- Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally to prevent them from burning.
- Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with 2 tablespoons of almond milk until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning.
- Pour the egg white mixture into the same skillet over medium heat.
- Let it set for about 1-2 minutes without stirring. You can gently swirl the pan to ensure an even spread.
- Once the edges start to set and the center is still slightly runny, add the sautéed vegetables evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Use a spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the vegetables.
- Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes or until the omelet is fully set but still moist inside.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Garnish with optional toppings like fresh herbs, salsa, or avocado slices if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy your healthy, protein-packed meal!
Tips:
- Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the egg whites to prevent sticking.
- Chop onions and red peppers into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Use a non-stick pan to reduce the amount of oil needed.
- Consider adding herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other milk of your choice.
