Father's Day Omelette

My husband is an awesome dad, and we want him to stick around for a very long time.  Hence, the egg white omelette ;)  No cholesterol, and lots of protein.  By cooking halfway on the stove, then finishing under the broiler, you will still get a nice, fluffy texture - you can barely tell that there isn't a yolk in there.

If you already have a low cholesterol diet, you can also do this with 3 regular eggs and it will be delicious.  I added some cheese, which will add some fat, but I didn't use oil or butter to prepare the pan, so I felt somewhat justified...

You can add whatever veggies you like - today we used red peppers, baby portabello mushrooms, and spinach.  If you are going to use tomatoes, or anything else with a high water content, make sure you cook them down first, or add them last.

Step 1:  Sauté the veggies in a medium sized, non-stick pan over medium-high heat.  Add a splash of water if they are sticking.
Step 2:  Whisk egg whites in a bowl with a tablespoon of water.
Step 3:  Add the eggs to the pan and reduce heat to low-medium.  Cook until the bottom is opaque, but the top is still translucent.
Step 4:  Sprinkle cheese and salt & pepper over the top.
Step 5:  Place under broiler until puffy and cooked through.
