Cheese & Olive Omelet
- 4 large egg whites
- Black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil spray
- 1 1/4 ounces (scant 1/2 cup) finely shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (no more than 3 g of fat per ounce; I used Lucerne, found at Safeway chains)
- 1 tablespoon canned chopped black olives
- Add the egg whites to a medium bowl and season them with pepper.
- Using a fork or small whisk, whisk them until the egg whites bubble lightly.
- Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- When warm, lightly mist the pan with spray and pour in the egg whites.
- Cook them, lifting the edges with a spatula as they start to set and tipping the pan for uncooked egg whites to run underneath, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until almost set.
- Flip the omelet.
- Add the mozzarella over half of the egg.
- Sprinkle the olives over the cheese.
- Flip the bare half over the filled half and continue cooking the omelet until the cheese is just melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving plate.
- Serve immediately.
