Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Spray a nonstick skillet with olive oil spray and warm over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add chopped red bell pepper, mushrooms, and spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until just softened, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Pour the egg whites into the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook gently over medium-low heat, scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula to scramble.

    When the egg whites are just set but still moist, remove from heat to avoid overcooking.

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The core ingredient is egg whites, which provide the wrap with high-quality protein and a tender texture. Their lightness also keeps the calorie count low, making them ideal for a snack.

The use of olive oil spray and the moisture from sautéed vegetables help the egg whites remain tender. Taking the pan off the heat right as the eggs are nearly set also prevents dryness.
