Vegetable Omelet from Biggest Loser


Lighten up breakfast with this Biggest Loser Club favorite.

Pair this veggie-rich omelet with a strip or two of turkey bacon (cooked between sheets of paper towels in the microwave to save time and soak up excess grease). Or do as the French do, add a salad, and you've got a fast, easy dinner.


Ingredients:


4 tablespoons chopped broccoli
2 tablespoons chopped yellow onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped carrot
4 large egg whites
1 whole large egg
1/2 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasoning
1 ounce serving Light Laughing Cow cheese
2 tablespoons fat-free refried beans


To Prepare:


Lightly coat a nonstick saute pan with cooking oil spray. Heat pan over medium-high heat and add vegetables. Saute for about two minutes or until just tender, but still bright.


While the veggies are cooking, whip the eggs with a whisk or beater until they are foamy. Add seasoning. Pour eggs over the vegetables, cover and cook for about two minutes or until eggs are almost set.


Crumble cheese over the omelet. Distribute refried beans over cheese. Fold omelet in half and allow to cook two minutes longer over low heat.
