Original Recipe Yield 2 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine
  • 1 small zucchini, chopped
  • 3/4 cup chopped tomato
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup egg substitute
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and green pepper in butter until tender. Add the zucchini, tomato, oregano and pepper. Cook and stir for 5-8 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid is nearly evaporated. Set aside and keep warm. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites, water, cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form. Place egg substitute in another bowl; fold in egg white mixture.
  2. Pour into a 10-in. ovenproof skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until bottom is lightly browned. Bake at 350 degrees F for 9-10 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Spoon vegetable mixture over one side; sprinkle with half of the cheese. To fold, score middle of omelet with a sharp knife; fold omelet over filling. Transfer to a warm platter. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cut in half to serve.
