  • 1/2 package frozen spinach, cooked

  • 4 medium mushrooms, chopped

  • 4 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled

  • 1 tablespoons low-fat butter or margarine

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  • In a large bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Discard the yolks or save for another use. Add 2 tablespoons of water; add salt and pepper to taste. Using a fork, beat the eggs whites until broken down.
