Quick and Easy Omelet

I am always in a hurry in the morning to get everything done before I have to leave for work. This is one of my healthy recipes for breakfast that can be cooked in less than 10 minutes. It’s great because you can use all kinds of different veggies to change it up so then you do not get bored with having a healthy omelet every morning. In this recipe I use 4 different ingredients: egg whites, ham, raw spinach and tomatoes.

Other healthy options you can add to this omelet are onions, bell peppers, arugula, mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, and cheese and just about anything else you like. I like to cook a couple of ingredients before I add the eggs just to brown them a little. The ham always goes in first since it takes a little longer for it to warm up than for the eggs to cook. I wait to throw in the spinach until the very end.  If you include the spinach too soon, well let’s just say I don’t like my spinach wilted and gooey. By adding the tomatoes at the end they will add some sweet flavor to the omelet. Also you can add red pepper flakes to spice it up if you prefer a spicy omelet. In addition to your omelet I like to add either a piece of whole wheat toast or half an English muffin with a little bit of spray butter or jelly on it. That way I know I won’t get hungry again until lunch.

It is a well known fact that if you eat your breakfast in the morning you can save a lot of calories throughout the day, some say up to 500 calories. Also if you choose a healthy breakfast then you will start out the day knowing you started good and perhaps you will continue the trend all through the day.   I know I could always use a good way to start the day. I hope you enjoy one of my favorite healthy breakfast recipes.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
1 Serving

Ingredients:

3 egg whites
2 slices of Hillshire Ham
1 cup of Spinach
6 cherry tomatoes
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

1.  Turn on burner to medium heat and place your Nonstick 10 Inch pan on the burner. Spray the pan with Pam and make sure you get it all covered so the egg doesn’t stick.

2. Chop the Ham into bite sizes, cut the tomatoes in two halves and tear up the spinach.  Place the ham into the warm pan and let cook for about a min stir about 30 seconds into it.

3. Add the egg whites and let cook until you can use the spatula to go under the egg and flip very easy.

4. Once you have flipped the egg, put the spinach and tomatoes on half of the omelet and let it finish cooking. Once the egg is cooked all the way flip half over the other half that doesn’t have the stuffing on it. Put on plate and enjoy.
