Mushroom and Bell Pepper Omelet with Fontina

Mushroom and Bell Pepper Omelet with Fontina

1 tsp. olive oil, divided
Cooking spray
1/4 C. chopped green onions
1/2 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 C. sliced shiitake mushrooms (about 6 oz.)
1/2 C. chopped seeded plum tomato
1/2 tsp. salt, divided
1/8 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
8 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1/2 tsp. butter
1/2 C. (2 oz.) shredded fontina cheese
1/4 C. reduced-fat sour cream

Heat 1/2 tsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add green onions; sauté 1 minute. Add bell pepper; sauté 1 minute. Add mushrooms; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in tomato, 1/4 tsp. salt, and black pepper; cook 30 seconds. Remove vegetable mixture from pan; cover and keep warm. Place 1/4 tsp. salt, parsley, eggs, and egg whites in a bowl; stir well with a whisk to combine. Place 1/2 tsp. oil and butter in skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts. Add egg mixture to pan; cook until edges begin to set (about 2 minutes). Slide front edge of a spatula between edge of omelet and pan. Gently lift edge of omelet, tilting pan to allow some uncooked egg mixture to come in contact with pan. Repeat procedure on opposite edge of omelet. Continue cooking until the center is just set (about 7 minutes). Spoon vegetable mixture evenly over 1/2 of omelet; top vegetable mixture with cheese. Loosen omelet with a spatula; fold in half. Carefully slide omelet onto a serving platter. Cut omelet into 4 wedges; top with sour cream. Serve immediately.

Note: You can use 1 C. egg substitute in place of 4 of the eggs, which cuts about 45 Calories: and 5 grams of fat per serving. If your vegetable mixture leaves some liquid in the pan, wipe it dry with a paper towel before adding the egg mixture.
