Ingredients
  • 1 small Potato -- thinly sliced

  • 1 cup Cholesterol-free egg substitute
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cup Fat-free shredded cheddar cheese -- divided
Directions
  1. 1
    Spray a 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
  2. 2
    Add the thinly sliced potatoes and onions to the skillet.
  3. 3
    Saut the potatoes and onions for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden.
  4. 4
    Remove the potato and onion mixture from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

    Wipe the skillet clean if necessary, then lightly spray again with cooking spray.

  7. 7
    Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until the edges begin to set.

    Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of the omelet.

    Carefully lift the empty side of the omelet and fold it over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

    Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the folded omelet.
  14. 14
    Cook for another minute until the cheese begins to melt and the omelet is heated through.
