By Harley Pasternak

  • 1 1/4 cups egg whites
  • 3 cups broccoli florets, coarsely chopped (NOTE: You can use any green vegetable in your refrigerator in place of the broccoli)
  • 1/4 cup shredded nonfat cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasoning mix
  • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil spray

Directions

  • Whisk together the egg whites, Mrs. Dash, salt, and pepper.
  • Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat the skillet. Add the broccoli florets and cook and stir until they are bright green.
  • Add the egg whites and cook while gently pushing them to the center with a rubber spatula. When the egg mixture begins to set on the bottom, turn it over.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and cover the pan. Cook for 30 seconds or until the cheese begins to melt.
  • To serve: Slide the omelet onto a plate and fold in half. Cut in half and serve with toast.
