Egg White Omelets

Ever make a face when somebody says 'Egg White Omelet'? Try mine :)

ok, to get ready...

I spray my pan with Pam then add a little smart balance butter





Have all your ingredients ready:




My cat's love me when I make these, because they get the egg yolks.








Pour two egg whites into the skillet

Once the egg white begins to firm up, sprinkle a little chopped onion on one side





When the egg whites are firmed up to a certain degree, you should shake the skillet to make sure the omelet is not stuck to the pan. You may have to experiment with the temperature on your stove eye and practice some. It took me a while before I could do this consistently and with ease… On my current stove eye somewhere between 4 and 5 is the perfect temperature.

Then add a few spoonfuls of some previously micro-waved green giant creamed spinach





Add a slice of pepper jack cheese and fold over the omelet









If you are busy with other parts of a meal it is okay to set the skillet off the eye at this point as the omelet will continue to cook from the heat of the pan - the omelet is pretty much done but the pepper jack continues to melt.

Removing the omelet from the pan may also take you some practice. Make sure the omelet is not stuck to the pan, get your spatula under the omelet and take your pan to your plate and drag the omelet along with the spatula while tipping up your pan to facilitate the effort. Remember if you are cooking more omelets, and you dribble some buttery stuff down the outside edge of your pan… you’ll want to wipe that off the pan before placing the pan back on the stove… unless you like messy stove eyes lol… I don’t like to clean them myself. Also if you get any other bits of omelet left behind in the skillet and you are planning to make more omelets it is probably best to wipe out the pan with paper towels and begin again, with another spray of pam. If necessary, wash & dry the skillet and then begin again.

I garnished the omelet with a little shredded colby jack cheese, some real bacon bits, and a little fresh ground pepper.

This is one of my favorite egg white omelets but you can put anything you want in the omelet… experiment, and have fun. Our dinner last night was egg white omelets, frozen pancakes (microwaved), and thinly sliced apples.

They were so good I had to have another today. Today's egg white omelet was prepared the same but served with a frozen blueberry waffle cooked in the toaster oven and toast.
