egg white omelettes

[monmis]

I love these! I just converted from 1/2 cup EggBeaters for 1pt to 3 egg whites for 1 pt because its so much cheaper.

To my omelettes, I often add grated cooked zuchinni/yellow squash, onions, mushrooms, chopped garlic(not on work days ;) ) and sometimes 1pt worth of feta cheese.

A low pt hi protein breakfast!

Good Morning Monmis,

I always use egg whites. So many things you can add to them. I made for myself, the eggwhites and added a teaspoon of grated cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes. Wow ! I am going to try your combination too. Sounds just yummy. Thanks for the idea. I love garlic but never thought of putting it in there. Thanks graemlins/wave.gif

I love egg whites too! I make a crustless quiche that calls for 4 eggs and 1 cup egg whites (ton of veggies and a bit of cheese) for 6 servings at 3 points a piece.

If I used all whole eggs it'd be at 4-5 points a piece! :eek:

HI!

I eat an egg white omelette just about every morning. I posted the recipe here in Breakfast foods called "Egg White Florentine with a Kick." I like to use zucchini when I have it too. I throw all sorts of veggies in there! LOL!

I also like to add some soy yogurt cheese mixed in (1 TB) to make it creamy. Delicious! High protein, low fat and low carb and low points, the PERFECT meal, LOL!

Hello Paris Madeleine,

Did you post this receipe for the Crustless
Quiche somewhere ? If not can you just give me
all the ingredients and baking time etc? I would love to make it. I love quiche. Thanks... :cool:

6 egg whites or 1/2 cup egg substitute
2 tbsp skim milk or water
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teapsoon salt
Paprika to taste

Spray a 7x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Place sliced mushrooms on the bottom followed by pieces of the spinach. Sprinkle cheese over spinach. In a mixing bowl whip the eggs, egg whites, milk/water and spices together. Pour mixture over veggies. Bake in a 350* oven for 50 minutes. Cut into 6 even slices.

6 servings at 3 points each!

Thanks so much for giving me the Quiche information. I will be making it this weekend with a bunch of other stuff for my company. I
am not telling anyone its WW stuff. They will
either try it or not. Up to them! It sounds great.
Can't wait to have it. graemlins/crazy.gif

I have a ridiculous question - what do you do with the yolks once you've used the egg whites? I hate the idea of buying a dozen eggs and wasting so much of them :(

[Momma25]

Well, if you have animals (dogs or cats) egg yolks are wonderful added to their food. It helps their coats stay shiny.

You could use them on your hair for added shine.

[Momma25]

I read somewhere that a dry hair conditioner made from egg yolks, mayo and peppermint oil is very good, but I can't find the exact recipe.

Also, you can give egg yolks to your family. I use my leftover ones for my hubby and children's scrambled eggs in the mornings. I just add whole eggs and some milk or water to the egg yolks. Works fine.

Thanks for the egg yolk ideas! I'm slowly turning into a "waste not, want not" person. Sigh. ;)
