Mornings are so much easier when we can wake up to a fresh and delicious breakfast or brunch recipe. That’s exactly why we absolutely love whipping up homemade omelets on the weekend—even weekdays if we have time! So today we’re highlighting one of our all-time favorite omelets, the Pesto Egg White Omelet. With fresh ripened tomatoes, this mix of tomato and pesto is exactly what you need for a healthy omelet and the perfect Mediterranean breakfast.
Just like your average omelet, the base of this Pesto Egg White Omelet is formed by eggs. And while we add tons of fun and new flavors to this omelet, there’s a key difference in the egg base which makes it even healthier than your average omelet. Instead of using the entire egg, we only use the egg whites. It’s a simple change that can make a difference, so we recommend giving it a try! Don’t want to stick to egg whites? This breakfast recipe is just as delicious with the whole egg.
Along with the egg whites, you’ll need cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes and pesto. Place a small pan on the stove and coat with a nonstick spray then heat to medium-high. Add in the grape tomatoes and let them roast for about four to five minutes—flipping every few minutes to ensure the roast evenly.
Once they’re finished, set them aside and wipe the pan clean. Coat the pan again with the nonstick spray and pour the egg white into the pan. After a couple minutes, place a cover on the pan and let the eggs cooks until the top is no longer runny.
When you’re satisfied with how your eggs are cooked, spread the pesto on one half of the egg. Place the grape tomatoes and sundried tomatoes on the pesto and fold the omelet over on itself.
