Ingredients

  • 2 cups refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 8 eggs, lightly beaten

  • teaspoon ground pepper

  • 1 cup torn fresh arugula or spinach

  • 1 cup seeded, chopped tomato

  • ½ cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese (2 ounces)

  • ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced

Directions

  1. Coat an 8-inch nonstick skillet with flared side with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat.

  2. Combine egg and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour one-fourth of the egg mixture into the prepared skillet. Immediately begin stirring the eggs gently but continuously with a wooden or plastic spatula until the mixture resembles small pieces of cooked egg surrounded by liquid egg. Stop stirring. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds more or until the egg is set but still shiny.

  3. Sprinkle one-fourth of the arugula, one-fourth of the tomato, one-fourth of the cheese, and one-fourth of the olives over half of the egg. With a spatula, lift and fold the other half of the egg up over the filling. Transfer omelet to a serving plate. (If necessary, wipe out the skillet with a clean paper towel and coat with cooking spray between omelets.) Repeat with remaining egg mixture, arugula, tomato, cheese, and olives to make three more omelets.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
