Weekend cooking: egg whites with feta cheese


This weekend I still have plenty of frozen food for the coming work week. Therefore, I am cooking only for Saturday and Sunday, just to break the monotony of soups during the work week.

For lunch I will make eggs whites with feta cheese dish. It is quick and delicious.

Egg whites and feta cheese

You need:
1-2 Tbsp of olive oil
1 carton egg whites (16 oz)
1 or 2 large sweet peppers (I bought an orange one on sale today!)
a few whole eggs (if you are not worried about cholesterol)
a cup of crumbled feta cheese (or more, I LOVE feta!)
1 large sweet onion (diced)
1 or 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
hot pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:
Soften the onion in the oil. Add the diced pepper and garlic, soften these before adding the egg whites (and a few beaten whole eggs, if you like). Mix until the eggs are cooked. Add any spices of choice and turn off the heat. Wait a few minutes and then mix in the crumbled feta cheese. The indicated ingredients yield 5 - 6 portions. (I use one 16-oz carton of egg whites and 2 whole eggs.)


The dish could be complemented by a drink of plain yogurt diluted with water and a portion of cucumber salad with vinegar, olive oil, salt and dill.

As always, I encourage you to try variations of this recipe. Instead of peppers, you could use diced tomatoes, green beans, broccoli, corn, zucchini, and more.
