"I lightened up this savory dish by using olive oil, one regular egg and three egg whites, explains Arlene Hammonds of Gray, Tennessee. "For a change of pace, I like to mix diced celery and parsley with different cheeses."

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup torn fresh spinach

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, beat the egg and egg whites. Add cheeses, salt, pepper flakes, garlic powder and pepper; mix well. Set aside.
  2. In an 8-in. nonstick skillet, saute the mushrooms, green pepper and onion in oil for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Add spinach; cook and stir until spinach is wilted. Add egg mixture. As eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. Cut into wedges. Serve immediately.
