Tomatoes add juicy flavor to this simple omelet, but they also boost
skin health. "Tomatoes are the number one skin-friendly vegetable,"
says Jessica Wu, MD, a Los Angeles dermatologist and the author of
Feed Your Face. Studies show that eating these bright red veggies may
help fight sunburn, boost collagen, and even reduce skin roughness.
If you have some fresh basil leaves on hand, cut them into slivers
and toss into the omelet with the tomatoes.
Prep: 5 min

Total: 14 min
Serves: 1
1 Tbsp chopped onion
1 Tbsp chopped green bell pepper
1 Tbsp chopped tomatoes + more tomatoes for garnish
1 egg, beaten
2 egg whites, beaten
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp grated Parmesan cheese
In a medium nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium
heat, add the onion and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, for
about 2 minutes, or until sizzling. Add the tomatoes. Cook for about
1 minute longer, or until just starting to soften. Add the egg and
egg whites. Sprinkle with the seasoning. Reduce the heat to low and
cook for about 5 minutes, lifting the cooked edges of the egg mixture
with a fork so the uncooked egg can run underneath, or until the bottom
is set. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through.
Sprinkle with the cheese and fold the omelet in half.
