How to Make Egg White Omelet Manicotti Style For 1

  1. Saute 1/4 small onion, 1/4 red bell pepper (finely chopped), and 1 clove garlic (minced) in 1 teaspoon olive oil for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach.
  3. Add the sauteed onion mixture to the cheese mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Whisk 2 large egg whites in a bowl until light and frothy. Pour into a lightly oiled 7-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wet.
  5. Spoon the cheese and vegetable mixture evenly over one half of the omelet. Fold the other half over the filling.
  6. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
  7. Top with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tomato and serve immediately.
