Ingredients

  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small zucchini, chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  • In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and green pepper in butter until tender. Add the zucchini, tomato, oregano and pepper. Cook and stir for 5-8 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid is nearly evaporated. Set aside and keep warm.
  • In a small bowl, beat egg whites, water, cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form. Place egg substitute in another bowl; fold in egg white mixture. Pour into a 10-in. ovenproof skillet coated with cooking spray. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat or until lightly browned on bottom.

This Omelet is fantastic! It's a bit labor & time intensive, but worth it. I didn't have zucchini and I used whole eggs instead of substitute. Absolutely delicious!
