19 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 1/4 ounces (scant 1/2 cup) finely shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (no more than 3 g of fat per ounce; I used Lucerne, found at Safeway chains)
  • 1 tablespoon canned chopped black olives

Directions

  1. 1
    Add the egg whites to a medium bowl and season them with pepper.
  2. 2
    Using a fork or small whisk, whisk them until the egg whites bubble lightly.

    Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. 4
    When warm, lightly mist the pan with spray and pour in the egg whites.
  5. 5
    Cook them, lifting the edges with a spatula as they start to set and tipping the pan for uncooked egg whites to run underneath, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until almost set.
  6. 6
    Flip the omelet.
  7. 7
    Add the mozzarella over half of the egg.
  8. 8
    Sprinkle the olives over the cheese.
  9. 9
    Flip the bare half over the filled half and continue cooking the omelet until the cheese is just melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
