Ingredients
1.
3
teaspoon oil, olive, extra virgin, divided
2.
1 small
onion(s), thinly sliced
3.
1 cup(s)
potatoes, pre-cooked, diced
4.
1
tablespoon thyme, fresh, chopped
5.
1/2
teaspoon paprika, smoked
6.
6 large
egg(s)
7.
4 large

8.
1/2
cup(s) cheese, Monterey Jack, or Manchego, shredded
9.
3 cup(s)
spinach, baby, roughly chopped
10.
1/2
teaspoon salt
11.
1/2
teaspoon pepper, black ground
Preparation
1. Heat 2 teaspoons
oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook,
stirring, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes, thyme and paprika
and cook for 2 minutes more.
2. Lightly whisk eggs
and egg whites in a large bowl. Gently stir the potato mixture into the eggs
along with cheese, spinach, salt and pepper until combined. Wipe the pan clean;
add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg
mixture, cover and cook until the edges are set and the bottom is browned, 4 to
5 minutes (it will still be moist in the center).
3. To flip the tortilla, run a spatula
gently around the edges to loosen them. Invert a large plate over the pan and
turn out the tortilla onto it. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and
continue cooking until completely set in the middle, 3 to 6 minutes. Serve warm
or cold.

Southwestern Omelet and Fruit Toast
Huge breakfast!
-Put 1/2 cup egg beaters (or 4 egg whites) (60 cals) mixed with some pepper into a good nonstick pan. Cook until halfway set
and then flip. Put 1 slice fat free lo-cal cheese (the brand I use is 25 cals per slice), 1 tablespoon salsa (5 cals), and 1-2
tablespoons chopped bell peppers (microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften them if you like) (about 5 cals) in the center. when
egg is set, fold and remove from heat. Cover to allow cheese to melt.
Toast 1 slice lo-cal bread (35-45 cals, depending on brand) and spread with 1 serving either sugar free jam or apple butter (10
cals).
This is more than many non-anas would ever dream of eating for breakfast: and it comes out to just 140-150 calories for the
omelette and toast together!
