Ingredients
1/2 slice whole wheat bread
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
non-stick cooking spray, as needed
3/4 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
10 plum tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon fresh or dried basil
Directions
Preheat your oven to 300°F.
Cut the bread into small cubes. In a small bowl, toss the bread cubes with olive oil and chopped garlic until well coated.
Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 15 to 25 minutes, stirring once or twice halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the croutons from the oven and transfer to a plate to cool.
Lightly coat a medium non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat for about 1 minute.
Pour the egg substitute into the hot skillet, tilting the pan gently to distribute evenly.
As the egg begins to set around the edges, use a spatula to push the cooked portions toward the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Once the bottom is set and the top is still slightly moist, reduce the heat to low.
When the top layer of egg is nearly cooked but still slightly creamy, sprinkle the grated mozzarella and basil over the entire surface. Arrange the halved tomatoes and cooled croutons over one half of the omelet.
Fold the unfilled half of the omelet over the filled half, creating a half-moon shape. Slide onto a serving plate and serve immediately.
Comments
This single-serving omelet is genuinely quick—actual active time is about 10 minutes, not the stated 40—and ingredients are stocked at every Charlotte chain, making it a real weeknight option. Egg substitute runs $3–4 a carton and the whole dish costs under $2.50 per serving, which is solid. The catch is that an omelet does not keep well and demands attention at the stove; it's built for one person eating alone right now, and reheating ruins the texture, so plan this for nights you know you're eating solo.
