5-2 Recipes: EGG WHITE OMELETTE WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

84 calories

Egg whites are a good choice if you are cutting back on calories, as there are only 18 calories in an egg white.

SERVES 1 PREP 5 minutes COOK 5 minutes

3 large eggs (54 cals for egg whites)

1 tbsp skimmed milk (5 cals)

3 sprays light sunflower oil (3 cals)

10 cherry tomatoes, cut in half (22 cals)

fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)

salt and freshly ground black pepper

• First, separate the eggs. Crack one of the eggs on the side of a clean bowl and, using your thumbs, open the two halves, letting some of the white run into the bowl. Carefully pass the egg yolk from one half of the shell to the other, letting the egg white run into the bowl. Keep passing the egg yolk from one half of the shell to the other without breaking it until all the white is in the bowl. Put the yolk in a separate bowl and repeat for the other 2 eggs. Add the milk to the egg whites and whisk together with a fork.

• Spray the oil into a wide frying pan (skillet) and warm over a medium heat for at least 2 minutes. Pour in the egg white mixture, then add the cherry tomatoes and basil immediately. Season with salt and pepper and cook until set. You may need to swirl and tilt the pan to distribute the eggs, tomatoes and basil evenly over the base of the pan. The omelette should cook in less than a minute. Serve straight away.
