- 1 large egg
- 4 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chives or basil, oregano and/or tarragon
- 2 tablespoons goat cheese crumbled
- kosher salt to taste
- fresh ground pepper to taste
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, egg whites and mustard.
Generously coat a nonstick omelet-sized skillet (I use an 8-inch pan) with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Place egg white mixture in pan and cook until the eggs start to set. Carefully run a rubber spatula around the edge and tip the pan slightly to allow some of the uncooked egg to flow underneath the edge of the forming omelet. Do this a few times until most of the egg mixture is cooked.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with herbs and goat cheese. Season with kosher salt and ground pepper. Cover pan and let sit for around 3 minutes.
Using a wide spatula, carefully fold one half of the omelet over the other, enclosing the herbs and cheese. Cut in half and serve immediately.
