Instructions:
- Chop the scallions.
- Roughly chop the spinach.
- Finely chop the dill.
- Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray oil and place it over medium heat.
- Add the chopped scallions to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until they become fragrant and start to soften.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
- Remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy.
- Re-spray the skillet with a short spray of cooking spray if needed.
- Pour the egg whites into the skillet and let them cook for about 1 minute on medium-low heat.
- As the edges begin to set, gently lift them with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg whites to flow underneath.
6. Add the Vegetables:
- Once the egg whites are almost fully set but still slightly runny on top, evenly distribute the sautéed scallions, spinach, and chopped dill over one half of the omelette.
7. Fold and Finish:
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the vegetables.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the egg whites are fully cooked but the omelette remains tender.
- Season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Transfer the omelette to a plate and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly whisk the egg whites to incorporate air, which will give you a fluffier omelette.
- Preheat your pan well before adding the egg whites to ensure an even cook and prevent sticking.
- Feel free to add other veggies such as bell peppers, tomatoes, or mushrooms to customize the omelette to your taste.
- For a bit of extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cheese on top before folding the omelette.
- To save time in the morning, you can pre-chop your vegetables the night before and store them in the refrigerator.
