Pete's Man-Size Low-Calorie Omelet
Breakfast lovers will leap out of bed for this veggie and cheese-packed egg dish. Excerpted from The Biggest Loser Cookbook.

The Biggest Loser Season 2’s Pete Thomas often refers to this--one of his favorite low-calorie recipes--as the Garbage-Can Breakfast. He uses the omelet recipe as a general guideline, but basically grabs all of the veggies from his refrigerator at any given time and creates a one-of-a-kind low-calorie omelet.

Makes 1 serving

1 uncooked Biggest Winner Breakfast Sausage patty, crumbled
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped orange bell pepper
1/2 cup Cheese & Chive Egg Beaters
1 wedge (3/4 ounce) Laughing Cow Light Garlic & Herb cheese, chopped

Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste

Set a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot enough for a spritz of water to sizzle on it. With an oven mitt, briefly remove from the heat to mist with olive oil spray. Place the sausage, onion, mushrooms, and bell peppers in the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the sausage is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender. Remove from the pan. Cover and set aside to keep warm.


Mist the pan with olive oil spray. Set over medium heat. Add the Egg Beaters. Cook, lifting the edges with a spatula as they start to set and tipping the pan for uncooked Egg Beaters to run underneath, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until almost set. With a spatula, flip the omelet. Scatter the cheese evenly over half of the egg mixture. Top with the reserved vegetables. Fold the omelet in half. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the cheese melts. Transfer to a serving plate. Season with salt and pepper. Serve your omelet immediately.
