Servings
Ingredients
1 canola cooking spray
6 fresh green onions , diced
2 eggs
4 egg whites
3 tbsp lowfat milk (or low-carb soy milk)
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp dried basil
1 pinch salt and pepper (to taste)
1 cup Spinach, chopped, frozen
0.25 cup reduced fat feta crumbles (optional)


Directions
1 Heat non-stick cooking spray in a large skillet on medium heat. Add scallions and saute the Enlitened way (see below).
2 Using a wire whisk or fork, beat the eggs together with the milk, herbs and spices. Add to the skillet.
3 With a fork or the tip of a spatula, keep pushing the edges in gently so that the egg spreads to the sides and cooks.
4 If using frozen vegetables, microwave them for 1 minute, and squeeze out the liquid.
5 When most of the egg is cooked, sprinkle the spinach across the top and cover with the cheese, if using.
6 Cook over low heat for 1 more minute and, using a wide spatula, fold in half. Cook another minute and serve.
Additional Information
Tip: When using leeks and scallions, discard the bulb, outer layer and dark green parts. Slice in half and wash carefully to remove all sand. Heat 2 tablespoon oil together with the cooking spray in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat for a few seconds. Add the leeks and onions; stir and lower heat. Cook until the leeks and onions start to brown, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and water; the mixture will start to brown. Cook another few minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan so that nothing sticks.
