1 Begin sandwich assembly by cutting avo- cado in half and removing pit. Toast 2 bread slices. Place toast on plates. Scoop avocado from peel dividing between toast slices. Mash and spread to edges. Sprinkle with salt. 2 Prepare omelette by heating 1 tsp (5 mL) oil in a medium-size nonstick omelette or frying pan set over medium-low heat. Add prepared onion and green or red pepper. Cook, stirring often until softened and moisture evaporates, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside. Let pan cool and wipe out to clean away any browned bits. Whisk egg whites with salt in a medium bowl until frothy. 3 Coat pan with remaining 2 tsp (10 mL) oil. Add prepared egg whites to pan. Cook, gently stirring with a rubber spatula and scraping egg from side of pan just until curds begin to form, about 1 minute. Shake pan and using spatula, form an omelette in pan by evenly distributing eggs into a circle. Gently cook

This healthy-ish breakfast is a snap to put together, but egg white omelettes can be finicky, so be sure to follow the directions carefully. Slow and steady cooking wins here. If you’re feeding a crowd, this recipe is easily doubled, tripled or even quadrupled.
