Edit Note

Outstanding

We packed this omelet so full that it's too thick to fold in half. Serve it open faced with fresh fruit and muffins.

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 4  large egg whites
  • 1  large egg
  • 1/8  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  black pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • 1  cup  thinly sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4  cup  finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2  cup  diced peeled baking potato, cooked
  • 1  tablespoon  Classic Pesto

Preparation

Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.

Heat a small nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and bell pepper; sauté 5 minutes. Pour egg mixture into pan; top with potato (do not stir). Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 8 minutes or until center is set.

Spread Classic Pesto over omelet. Loosen omelet with a spatula, and cut in half. Slide omelet halves onto plates.
