Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) egg whites (about 8 large egg whites)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red or yellow)
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, squeezed dry)
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions or green onions
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of garlic powder or fresh minced garlic
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • Optional: 1/4 of a small avocado, sliced or cubed
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons low-fat cottage cheese or crumbled feta
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon hemp seeds or chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Dice the bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and chop the spinach into fresh, bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk 1 cup (240 ml) of egg whites with a pinch of salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until just frothy.
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add bell peppers and cook until slightly softened, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Stir in spinach and tomatoes, cooking just until spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.
  7. Pour the whisked egg whites over the sautéed veggies and let cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to set at the bottom.
  8. Gently fold the eggs and veggies together using a silicone or rubber spatula, cooking until eggs are fully set but still moist and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and sprinkle cottage cheese or feta on top if using, add hemp or chia seeds, and garnish with fresh herbs and avocado slices if desired.
  10. Serve warm immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid rubbery egg whites. Gently fold eggs instead of constant stirring for better texture. Fresh egg whites fluff better than carton whites. Customize with avocado, cheese, or seeds for added flavor and nutrition. Can be made vegan by substituting egg whites with seasoned firm tofu crumbles.
