I love junk food. For 12 years I was an avid swimmer, (swimming 4-6 miles every night, six days a week, eleven months of the year) and as a result, I had the luxury of eating ANYTHING I wanted. I'd come home from a practice, eat my second dinner of the night, and then sit on the couch with a "Value Size" bag of Doritos and polish that off! Unfortunately, it pains me to have realized that those days are 3 years in the past... even if I do have a stellar performance at the gym three times a week. It's not all bad though! I've learned that healthy food can be delicious if you know what to do with it, so I'm posting my first healthy recipe! This is a recipe I found on the Weight Watchers website (which made me a bit skeptical at first) but I gave it a try and the results were yummmmmmmy! It's an Italian pepper and egg sandwich, great for anytime of day, and here are the directions:
Ingredients
|
| 2 tsp olive oil |
| 1 small onion(s), thinly sliced |
| 1 large green pepper(s), such as a cubanelle, thinly sliced |
| 1 tsp minced garlic |
| 4 large egg(s) |
| 3 large egg white(s) |
| 1/2 tsp table salt, or to taste |
| 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste |
| 4 item(s) reduced-calorie hamburger roll(s), toasted if desired |
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and pepper; saute until tender and light golden, about 7 to 9 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Set vegetables aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, egg whites, salt and pepper. Scramble in same skillet over medium heat until almost cooked, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Add vegetables back to skillet and gently mix; continue scrambling until eggs are set but not dry, about 30 seconds to 1 minute more.
- Top each roll bottom with about 3/4 cup egg mixture; cover with roll tops and serve. Yields 1 sandwich per serving.
