INGREDIENTS
• 1 1/2 cup egg whites
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 4 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced
• 3 oz goat cheese
• 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
• 1 chive, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tbsp low-fat sour cream
• 1 tbsp light butter
• 1/4 tsp salt
• pinch black pepper (optional)
• garnish with fresh tomatoes (optional)
PREPARATION
• Coat a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the butter and diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until fragrant and tender.
• While the onions are sautéing, whisk together eggs, egg whites, chives, almond milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
• Once the onions are done, pour the egg mixture into the pan with the onions. Arrange the salmon slices and goat cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
• Let cook for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs are firm on the bottom. With a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Flip to the other side and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Remove from the heat and serve. Enjoy!.
Serving suggestion: pair with fresh tomatoes, fresh fruit, avocado slices, oven fried potatoes, and/or some oatmeal.
