Doughnut-Style Omelets
These delicious gems are loaded with nutrition and tons of cheesy flavor. You can personalize them with your favorite veggies and herbs
Ingredients
- 6 whole large eggs
- 6 large egg whites
- ½ cup light sour cream
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 to 4 tablespoons minced fresh herbs, any preferred including parsley, dill, chives, etc
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced (about 1.5 cups)
- 1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped (about 1.5 cups)
- ¾ cup reduced-fat shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Mist a doughnut tin with nonstick oil spray and set aside.
- Liberally coat a skillet with oil spray (or add 1 tablespoon olive oil) and warm over medium heat. Add the onion and bell peppers, and sauté about 5 to 7 minutes, until they’re soft and slightly browned. Add more spray as needed if they become dry while cooking. Remove from heat and allow them to slightly cool while you prepare the eggs.
- In a mixing bowl, add the eggs, egg whites and sour cream and blend using a whisk. Add the salt, pepper and minced herbs.
- Add the sautéed veggies into your egg mixture and stir. Add all or half of the cheese (*see note). Pour ¼ cup omelet batter into each of the doughnut tins and sprinkle optional cheese over the tops. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until eggs are firm and cooked. Carefully remove from tins and serve!
