Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for a high protein low calorie omelet.

Mention that the only time-consuming part is preparing the filling, which can include various ingredients.

Decide to use leeks, mushrooms, and spinach for the filling, but suggest that onions can be used instead of leeks if preferred.

Discuss using bacon for flavor and fat, and mention using butter to coat the pan.

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and add 2 ounces of egg whites, explaining this choice lowers calories while adding volume.

Mix the eggs and egg whites together with salt and pepper, stating no milk or cream will be added.

Cut bacon into pieces and begin cooking it in a preheated pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until crispy.

Chop leeks into small pieces and add them to the pan once the bacon is done, cooking them for about 5 minutes without stirring to allow browning.

Chop mushrooms into small pieces (about 250 to 300 grams) and add them to the pan with the leeks, cooking for another 5 minutes before stirring.

Season the mushroom and leek mixture with salt and pepper, then add spinach, stirring until wilted (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).

Introduce a second filling option using bacon, onion, jalapeno, red bell pepper, and zucchini, cooking them together with spices like cumin, sweet paprika, and chili powder for 15 to 20 minutes until browned.
