Rancher’s Omelet

I did not do a bang-up job of putting this omelet together however, it was still a mountain of goodness!! This is a hearty, no-nonsense breakfast and is full of lean proteins and vegetables and is a great way to kick-start your morning. This took about 5 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to cook. The instructions are rather specific however, if you are good at making an omelet, using the list of ingredients is what matters. Simply put it together any way you like, the nutrition content is what matters most.

Ingredients:

  • Turkey sausage – 3 oz
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • Red pepper (small diced) – ¼ cup
  • Onion (small diced) – ¼ cup
  • Tomato (small diced – ¼ cup
  • Garlic (minced) – 1 tspE
  • gg whites (6 large) – 1 cup
  • Whole eggs – 2
  • Salt – ¼ tsp

Whisk egg whites, eggs, salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl. Re-spray pan if needed and pour egg mixture into the pan.
