Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 cup mushrooms
80g
3 egg whites
120g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/4 red pepper
30g
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Slice the mushrooms and dice the red bell pepper.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks if using whole eggs.
2. Cook Vegetables:
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell pepper to the skillet.
- Sauté the vegetables for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender and the mushrooms have released their moisture and started to brown.
3. Prepare Omelet Base:
- In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with a dash of salt and black pepper until slightly frothy.
4. Cook the Omelet:
- Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet.
- Pour the egg whites into the skillet, ensuring they spread out evenly over the bottom.
- Allow the egg whites to set for about 2-3 minutes without stirring, or until they are mostly cooked through but still slightly runny on top.
5. Add the Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the egg whites and the vegetable mixture.
6. Fold and Finish:
- Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half to cover the filling.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the egg whites are fully cooked.
7. Serve:
- Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.

Tips:

- For a fluffier omelet, whisk the egg whites until frothy before adding them to the pan.

- Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth and quick process.

- Cook the vegetables until they're tender but still crisp to retain their flavor and texture.

- If you prefer, substitute the cheddar cheese with another type of cheese like Swiss or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking and to make flipping easier.

Cooking a Mushroom, Pepper, and Cheddar Egg White Omelet is a straightforward process that yields a healthy and flavorful dish. By following these tips and steps, you’ll create a delightful meal that can easily become a staple in your kitchen repertoire. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious omelet!
