Story

Using egg substitutes, or egg whites only, lowers the cholesterol, and using fat-free cream cheese eliminates the fat. So, you CAN eat a delicious omelet after all! Be sure to use only lean ham, or use smoked turkey if you wish.
Omelets are easier to make than you might think. There is need to flip them while cooking. By lifting up the edges of the egg as it sets it will allow the uncooked egg to run underneath. This will cook the egg completely without the mess of trying to get it flipped just right. Enjoy!
