This Low Fat Bay Shrimp and Swiss Omelet recipe is perfect for a healthy breakfast that won't leave you feeling weighed down. The omelet is made with a combination of egg whites and one whole egg, making it low in fat while still providing plenty of protein. The bay shrimp add a seafood flavor to the dish, while the scallions add a touch of freshness. In addition, the slice of low-fat Swiss cheese adds creaminess and goes perfectly with the shrimp. This omelet is not only healthy but also easy to make, making it a great weekday breakfast option.

Instructions

1.	In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole egg, and skim milk.
2.	In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3.	Add the scallions and sauté for 1 minute.
4.	Add the bay shrimp and stir until heated through.
5.	Pour the egg mixture over the shrimp and scallions, and stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly in the skillet.
6.	Let cook for 2 minutes, then use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet and allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
7.	When the eggs are mostly set, place the slice of Swiss cheese on one side of the omelet and fold the other side over on top of it.
8.	Cook for an additional 30 seconds until the cheese is melted, then slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot.

PROS

This omelet is high in protein and low in fat, making it a healthy and satisfying breakfast option.

CONS

Some may find the omelet a bit bland without additional seasonings added.

The use of only egg whites may result in a less fluffy and less flavorful omelet compared to using whole eggs.
