Egg White Omelette with Spinach and Tomato — Light, Healthy, Ready in Minutes
This egg white omelette with spinach and tomato is a light and healthy version of the classic omelette. Inspired by simple Mediterranean recipes and everyday practicality, it brings a fresh and mild flavor. Spinach adds an earthy taste and vibrant color, tomato provides juiciness and acidity, and egg whites make everything soft and airy. What makes it special is the practicality: it’s ready in the microwave with minimal prep and no special equipment needed, perfect for anyone who wants something quick and delicious.
Egg whites form the light and fluffy base of the omelette, while spinach adds leaf texture and vibrant color. Tomato brings juice and a tangy touch that cuts through the lightness of the whites, balancing the dish. A drizzle of olive oil adds shine and flavor, and a pinch of salt and pepper enhances each ingredient. Grated cheese or fresh cheese can make the interior creamy, and herbs like chives or parsley add a final aroma. Together, these elements create a soft, moist, and flavorful omelette that doesn’t weigh you down.
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites (or 120 ml pasteurized egg whites)
- 1 handful fresh spinach, chopped (about 30 g / 1 oz)
- 1 small tomato, diced (about 70 g / 2.5 oz)
- 1 tablespoon water or milk (optional, for a fluffier result)
- 1 tablespoon grated cheese or fresh cheese, crumbled (optional, approx. 10 g)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (5 ml)

- Ground black pepper to taste (a pinch)
- 1 tablespoon chives or parsley, chopped (to finish)
- Oil spray or a little butter to grease the bowl (optional)

- Place the egg whites in the bowl and beat with a fork or whisk until lightly foamy. Add the water or milk, salt, and pepper, and stir.
- Add the chopped spinach, diced tomato, and cheese (if using). Gently stir to distribute the ingredients.
