Ingredients
SERVES 1
- 50 g spinach, wilted or defrosted
- 2 whole eggs
- 150 g egg whites
- 90 g mackerel, canned, drained
- 5 g nutritional yeast (optional)
Directions
- Beat eggs and egg whites in a bowl.
- Heat a small frypan on medium heat and pour in the eggs.
- Use a wooden spoon to scramble the eggs slightly (this speeds up the cooking time) but so they still fill the bottom of the frypan.
- Once the eggs are mostly cooked, add fish (i.e. mackerel, tuna or sardines if you prefer), yeast (if using), and cooked spinach to half of the omelette.
- Flip the empty half over the filled half and plate up.
