Omelet recipe
Here is one of the omelets I’ve been eating a lot of. This recipe results in a monstrous omelet.
- 8 egg whites (120 cal)
- Mushrooms
- Green Onion
- Half a medium Tomato
- Light Cheese (30g – 100 cal)
- 1% Cottage Cheese (75g – 50 cal)
- Splash of Chicken Broth
- Cooking Spray
My nutrition level on the P90X nutrition scale is level two. If you’re level one or three adjust the eggs to six or 10 accordingly. I like to use the liquid egg whites. Its just a lot easier =).
Chop and Sauté the Veg
First cut up the mushrooms, green onion and dice the tomato. Heat up a frying pan on high. I like non-stick. Once hot, add a splash of chicken broth. Next add the mushrooms, green onion, and tomato and sauté until they’re tender.
I like to remove the vegetables from the pan and give it a light spray with the cooking spray. Reduce the heat to medium-medium high. Eggs cook better on lower temperatures. Add the egg whites to the pan and then add the vegetables. Mix them around to evenly distribute them around the pan/egg. Let this cook.
Now, I’ll grate my cheese measuring with my uber scale. Wait for the eggs to form little bubbles in the top layer, there should only be a bit of liquid egg left. I like to loosen the edges of the egg by gently running the spatula around the edges. Next, add the cheese and cottage cheese to one side of the omelet. Spread it out on one side.
The Flip
This is the hard part. This could result in you making scrambled eggs 
for the first few times =). Gently slip your spatula under the side of the omelet you didn’t add cheese too and wiggle it around to get everything unstuck. Flip that side of the omelet over onto the cheese! If your egg is cooked enough, this should make the perfect omelet shape! If not – it might break. No worries – it might not look as nice – but it will still be tasty. As you can see from the picture above – mine didn’t turn out so well this day =)
Cook for a bit more, maybe flip it over completely and remove from the pan. 270 calories, 9 grams of fat, 42 grams of protein, 8 grams of fat, 6 grams of carbohydrates.
