French Omelet

•1 teaspoon olive oil
•6 egg whites, whipped
•1 Tablespoon water
•1 teaspoon salt
•1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Sausage And Pepper Filling

1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 cup low-fat polish sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil

Heat oil over high heat in a skillet with a rounded bottom and
sloping sides. In a mixing bowl, whip egg whites, water, salt,
and black pepper together, using a fork. Pour egg mixture into
skillet. Cook over moderately high heat until the bottom is set.
Using a heatproof spatula, move the cooked mixture to the center
and allow the uncooked mixture to flow into the bottom of the pan.
When cooked, the omelet should be barely brown on the bottom, soft
and moist in the center. Spoon the filling down the center of the
omelet. Using a spatula and starting from the handle side,
fold one third of the omelet over the center. With a heated serving
plate in one hand, grasp the skillet in the other, palm up and tilt
so the omelet rolls over onto the plate.

Sausage filling

Heat oil in a large skillet. Then, crumble sausage and cook until
lightly browned. Remove sausage from pan. Add peppers and onions to
pan and cook until tender. Then add, cooked sausage, oregano, and basil.
Toss gently to mix. Lower heat. Cover and keep warm. Fill as described above.
