- 3–4 egg whites (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 tbsp feta cheese or Swiss cheese, crumbled or shredded

- 1 tsp olive oil

- diced red or green peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, or for an Italian flair: pepperoni with mozzarella (optional add-ins)
Description
This omelette is light but nutrient-dense thanks to the egg whites, leafy greens, and flax seed meal. Add peppers for extra color and crunch—or go Italian with pepperoni and mozzarella for a heartier version.
