Ingredients

3 large eggs
6 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon ground basil
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup diced onion
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 15-ounce can low-sodium red kidney beans
2 1/2 cups fresh baby spinach

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together whole eggs, egg whites, basil, oregano, garlic powder and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add onion and mushrooms. Stir. Cook for 5 minutes or until tender.
  4. Add beans and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through. Whisk the egg mixture (made in step 1) and pour into skillet.
