Yield: 2 servings.
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 Tbsp stick margarine
1 small zucchini, chopped
3/4 cup chopped tomato
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp pepper
4 egg whites
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
In a large nonstick skillet, sauté onion and green pepper in butter until tender. Add the zucchini, tomato, oregano and pepper. Cook and stir for 5-8 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid is nearly evaporated. Set aside and keep warm. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites, water, cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form. Place egg substitute in another bowl; fold in egg white mixture.
Pour into a 10-in ovenproof skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until bottom is lightly browned. Bake at 350° for 9-10 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Spoon vegetable mixture over one side; sprinkle with half of the cheese.
To fold, score middle of omelet with a sharp knife; fold omelet over filling. Transfer to a warm platter. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cut in half to serve.
