Ingredients
- 4 cups (one 32-oz carton) liquid egg whites
- 4 large eggs
- 5 oz baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 3 oz crumbled feta (about ¾ cup)
- 4 English muffins, split
From your pantry: 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp Italian seasoning, ¼ tsp garlic powder, salt, pepper.
Instructions
- Whisk the egg whites, whole eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, ½ tsp salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large measuring cup until no streaks of yolk remain.
- Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the green onions and tomatoes for 2 minutes, add the spinach and stir just until wilted, about 1 minute. Scrape the vegetables into a bowl and wipe the pan.
- Toast the English muffins while you cook the omelets.
- Brush the pan with a little oil and set it over medium-low heat. Pour in about 1¼ cups of the egg mixture and tilt the pan to coat. As the edges set, lift them with a spatula and let the raw egg run underneath, 2 to 3 minutes.
- When the top is nearly set, spoon a quarter of the vegetables and feta over one half, cover the pan and cook 1 minute more, until the egg is just firm and the feta softens. Fold and slide onto a plate.
- Repeat with the remaining egg mixture and fillings, and serve each omelet with a toasted English muffin.
Tip: Keep the heat at medium-low once the eggs go in. Egg whites turn rubbery and brown fast over high heat, and a lid finishes the top gently without flipping.
