Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup shredded zucchini
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped sweet onion
  • 3 mushrooms, sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced tomato
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
  • 3 egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves, optional

Method

  • Put the zucchini onto a double layer of paper towels.
  • Cover with another double layer of paper towels and press out the excess moisture.
  • Coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat.
  • Add the drained zucchini, onion, and mushrooms to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and Parmesan and place the mixture into a small bowl.
  • Wipe the nonstick pan clean, coat again with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat.
  • When the pan is good and hot, add the 3 egg whites and turn the skillet to evenly coat the bottom.
  • When just about set, add the vegetable mixture to one side of the omelet.
  • Gently fold the other side over the vegetables to form a half moon.
  • Carefully slide the omelet onto a heated plate.
  • Serve immediately with a sprinkling of fresh black pepper and the parsley, if using.
