Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 frozen artichoke hearts, defrosted and finely diced
2 medium red potatoes, cooked, peeled, and diced
3/4 c crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp basil, fresh, thinly sliced
4 plum tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
4 whole eggs
8 egg whites
4 Tbsp asiago cheese, grated
ground pepper to taste
non-stick cooking spray

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees and have 4 oven proof plates ready.
2. Place the potatoes in a pot of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced by the tip of a sharp knife. Drain the potatoes, peel them, and cut them into small cubes.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Using a nonstick pan sprayed lightly with cooking spray and saute the mixture 3-5 minutes over medium heat (until mushrooms are soft).
4. In another bowl lightly beat the whole eggs with a fork then add in the egg whites until thoroughly blended. Add pepper to taste.
5. Spray an 8-inch nonstick pan and set over medium heat. Pour in 1/4 of the egg mixture. Cook 2-3 minutes. Lift up the sides of the omelet to allow the uncooked egg to flow to the bottom of the pan. When the egg is solidified, scatter 1/4 of the cooked artichoke/potatoe mixture into a line down the center of the omelet (you will be folding it over). Sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon of cheese. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half. Place on oven-proof plate and keep warm in the oven while you repeat the process for the remaining omelets. Serve and enjoy.
