5 stripsLow Sodium Bacon; - thin sliced
2 mediumEggs
1/2 cupEgg substitute
1/4 cup1% milk; -or skim if you must.
1/2 cupBroccoli slaw
1/2 cupGreen onions; sliced fine
1/2 cupCilantro; -rough chopped
non-stick Pan Spray
3/4 cupSalsa; - your choice

Bacon Omlette - Lightened Preparation

Broil the bacon strips, turning once. When nicely browned and crisp drain on paper towel to remove any surface fat. Set aside. You could use Turkey bacon to reduce the fat a bit more but the taste will suffer a bit.

Mix together the eggs, egg substitute, and milk. Add a dash of fresh ground black peppr if you like. Spray a small omlet pan with non-stick and heat it up. Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the pan. Swirl it around to spread it thinly but evenly across the bottom. Allow it to cook intil the top is just starting to look "done". Fill the omlet with 1 strip of bacon, some broccoli and cilantro.

Loosen the edges of the omlet and gently place your spatula under one edge. Tilt the pan sharply and fold the omlet in half, or roll it up if folding isn't your style. Cook about one additional minute and turn the omlet out onto a plate.

Place a tablespoon of salsa in a line down the length of the omlet. Garnish with a scattering of vegetables, and 1/4 strip of bacon.

Normal Serving is 2 omlettes or 1 larger "2 egg" omlette if you prefer

Notes

Egg white omlets just weren't "getting it" for us. So I came up with this compromise dish. It still tastes great but has 1/2 the fat and calories.
