👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Separate egg whites from yolks. Season egg whites with salt, pepper and herbs. Whisk until slightly frothy.
    💡 Room temperature egg whites whisk more easily and create a fluffier omelette.
  2. 2
    Sauté spinach in a separate pan (or microwave 30 seconds) until wilted. Halve cherry tomatoes.
  3. 3
    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray or add ½ tsp oil.
  4. 4
    Pour in egg whites. Let edges set (about 1 minute), then gently lift edges with a spatula and tilt the pan to let uncooked egg white flow underneath.
  5. 5
    When surface is just barely set (not fully dry), add spinach and tomatoes to one half. Fold the other half over. Slide onto a plate and serve immediately.
