Recipe: Mia's Veggie Omelet (using egg whites, serves 1)

Breakfast and Brunch
MIA'S VEGGIE OMELET

"This recipe is named for my daughter Mia, who often makes this colorful and nutritious omelet. Serve with two soy sausages, whole-wheat toast, and margarine with plant sterols."

1/4 cup asparagus, chopped
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/4 cup jarred roasted red bell peppers
1/2 medium Vidalia onion, chopped
6 egg whites
1 ounce soy cheddar cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper to taste, optional

Cut tough stems off asparagus. Chop the tender portions of the spears into small pieces. Microwave in microwave-safe bowl with water until soft, about 2 minutes.

Heat oil in frying pan. Add vegetables and saute over medium-high heat until cooked (onion is transparent).

Whisk egg whites together until a froth forms. Add in egg whites and fry until omelet has reached desired consistency.

Top with shredded cheese, cover, and continue heating until cheese has just melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired and serve warm.

Makes 1 serving
