Delicious and Nutritious: Your Guide to a Healthy Egg White Breakfast

A light, energizing, and protein-packed egg white breakfast perfect for busy mornings or mindful eating routines.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of egg whites (about 8 large egg whites)
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup of chopped bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1/4 cup of chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup of fresh spinach leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes
  • Optional: 1/4 cup of mushrooms
  • Optional: 1/4 cup of feta cheese
  • Optional: A pinch of chili flakes for heat
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace for cooking.
  2. Chop the bell peppers, onions, and any other vegetables you plan to use.
  3. Measure your egg whites to ensure you have approximately one cup ready.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 2–3 minutes until they become translucent.
  6. Add the bell peppers and any other vegetables you’re using, and cook for another 3–4 minutes until they soften.
  7. Pour the egg whites into the pan, stirring gently to combine with the vegetables.
  8. Season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the egg whites are fully set, about 4–5 minutes.
  9. Add spinach leaves and let them wilt, which should take about 1 minute.
  10. If using, sprinkle feta cheese over the top and allow it to soften slightly before removing the skillet from the heat.

Notes

Use a well-heated skillet to avoid rubbery texture. Don’t over-stir while cooking. For variety, try different herbs, spices, or seasonal vegetables. Avoid high heat to preserve the fluffiness of egg whites.
