quick and easy and delicious

i don't like to throw perfectly good ingredients away, so if i have something leftover, i'll either freeze it or use it right away. i had three egg whites lying around and some vegetables that needed to be used, so hubby and i had a cheesy egg white scramble for breakfast.

i love this dish. you can use whatever veggies you want- spinach, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, mushrooms- and whatever cheese and meat you like. it's so quick and easy and delicious.

cheesy egg white scramble

3 egg whites

1/4 onion, finely diced

1 orange pepper- finely diced

1 cup dice meat- i used sliced deli ham because that's what was in my fridge

1 cup shredded cheese- i used harvarti because that's what was in my fridge

salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

optional- minced green onions or chives

add onion and oil to a nonstick pan and season with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. turn burner on to medium heat and saute onions until caramelized. add the peppers and meat, season and saute until soft. 

add the egg whites and gently scramble. if using green onions or chives, add now. 

add the cheese and cover to melt the cheese.

once the cheese is melted, gently mix everything.

plate and enjoy.
