I eat this every day. Literally. I have the occasional crepe from our local brunch destination, but it is rare that I do not eat some form of egg whites for breakfast. This simple, yet tasty kale and egg white omelet pairs with any other side you are waking up with. Coffee, tea, oranges… you name it! I prefer mine with a nice cup of tea and a parfait!
If you are freaking out and you haven’t seen my post on how to sauté kale, you can relax now, I’ve got you covered! It’s very simple and takes no time at all. The first few steps for this omelet are spent sauteing the kale and they are straight from my other post. Follow the recipe below to create this delicious and healthy omelet!
Just a tip: I personally LOVE olive oil that you can spray. I have tried buying a reusable container but the tip always gets clogged and the whole thing stops working. At Aldi, a lot of times they have this, which is just plain extra virgin olive oil. You have to be careful when buying one because sometimes there are additives and chemicals on the ingredients list. What’s in this… just plain EVOO 🙂
Notes
Want to spice it up? I add a few dabs of hot sauce to mine! Also, if you are not doing the Whole30®, I add a tablespoon of feta and other sauteed veggies. Peppers, onions, and tomatoes go very well in omelets! Just sauté the kale and veggies simultaneously, then repeat the steps from where you add the egg whites. Voila!Â
*Timing is from the use of a gas stove
Ingredients
