Egg White Omelette w/ Spinach and Salsa

Every morning I eat oatmeal and something with egg for breakfast.  Usually my egg consists of a hard boiled egg or egg white scrambled with spinach or basil and tomato.  But, one morning earlier this week, I realized i was out of tomatoes and thought, oh man what am I going to put in my egg whites with spinach that was already in the pan cooking.  So as I looked through my fridge I realized I had salsa and thought, well let's try that.

So, I pulled out the salsa and tried to scramble it in with my egg whites.  Needless to say, it didn't turn out the prettiest, but this morning I was determined to try it again but use a different approach - the omelette approach, and voila it was yummy.

Since I have really only been posting dinner and side dish recipes, I thought it was high time I share a something for breakfast.  But, I don't know about you, I tend to like breakfast for dinner (which my best friend in Alaska refers to as brinner) so this would be just as good for that as well.

Here you go!

Egg White Omelette w/ Spinach & Salsa

INGREDIENTS:
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
A handful of spinach leaves (I usually use about 1 cup but use as much or as little as you like)
1/2 cp. Egg Whites (or 2 Large Egg Whites separated from the yolk)
1-2 tsp. of Salsa (whatever kind you like - I like the medium heat salsa)
Salt & Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
-  Spray a small frying pan with a small amount of olive oil cooking spray.
-  Drop the handful of spinach leaves into the pan and let them cook down for a few minutes until they become wilted.
-  Once the spinach is wilted, pour in the egg whites, season them to taste and let them sit, do not stir them.
-  After 3 minutes or so - once the egg whites are set on the edges and not as runny in the middle, carefully flip the egg white & spinach over to the other side.
-  Once flipped, spread the salsa on one half of the omelette and fold it in half.  (*NOTE:  You could also not flip the omelette and spread the salsa over the egg whites in the above step, and place it in the oven for a few minutes to get the inside cooked, but I didn't feel like turning my oven on).
-  After you let it cook for about 2-3 more minutes, it should be cooked and nice a brown.
-  Slide it out of the pan onto a plate and ENJOY!!!

* I like my eggs and omelettes more on the well done side, so if you like yours a bit more runny, adjust cooking times as you see fit.
