Yield: Makes 4 servings
Tablespoon for tablespoon, grated Romano or Parmesan cheese goes a lot farther than other cheeses toward boosting the flavor of recipes.

1
cup chopped onion
1/4
cup water
1
cup frozen peas
1
cup torn stemmed washed spinach
6
egg whites
2
eggs

Preparation:
1.
Coat large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Combine onion and water in skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Cover; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in peas. Cook until peas are heated through; drain. Stir in spinach. Cook and stir about 1 minute or until spinach just starts to wilt.
2.
Meanwhile, combine egg whites, eggs, rice, milk, 2 tablespoons Romano cheese, mint, pepper and salt in medium bowl. Add egg mixture to skillet. Cook, without stirring, 2 minutes until eggs begin to set. Run large spoon around edge of skillet, lifting eggs for even cooking.
