STFU Stomach, I'm Trying To Study

It's quite rare that I'm ever eating breakfast or lunch.  I'm generally super busy, always on the go, have class straight through lunch time, and then we're bordering on dinnertime and it's just not quite worth it.  But today, I made quite the impromptu decision and decided to eat lunch.  Typically I'm cramming up my extra time on Wednesdays with yoga or what not, but today, I have a monster load of studying to do.  Of course I have a test tomorrow morning in cognition, haven't quite started studying, and have two and a half hours of rehearsal tonight.  As I sat down to embark on my 5 hour studying marathon I realized-- oh wow, I'm starving.  My window is open because it's a beautiful day, and the smell of breakfast sandwiches seemed to be wafting into my room from the cafe downstairs.   You see, by now you've gathered that i LOVE sandwiches and believe that they are by far, the greatest invention on earth.  Yes, I feel the same way about breakfast sandwiches.  I tried to ignore it and go on wit my studying but it was simply a futile effort.  I ran to the store to pick up some bagels thinking, well, maybe a bagel with some jam and butter will do it.  But when I returned home, I noticed my carton of egg whites, positioned carefully on the shelf next to some left over spinach, some onion, and mozzarella cheese.  And that is where today's impromptu breakfast/ lunch/ "stfu stomach I'm trying to study" idea came from.  


 And of course, once I made it, decided to take a picture of it, and loaded the picture onto my computer, I realized just how far behind I was on this blogging business.  So... here we are.  Procrastination central.

what you need...
1 whole wheat bagel (toasted)
1/3 cup egg whites
1/3 small onion, diced (more if you want)
1/3 cup fresh leaf spinach, washed and patted dry
Grated mozzarella (as much as desired for topping)
Dash of vegetable oil to prevent sticking (as little as possible)
Siracha Sauce (optional--because I put Siracha Sauce on everything)
Salt and Pepper to taste

what you need to do...
1.  In a small pan, heat vegetable oil over medium with onions.  When onions become fragrant (starting to brown a tiny bit), add spinach and cook down for about one minute.  Pour in egg whites, season with a dash of salt and pepper, and cook as you would an omelet.  When ready, flip egg whites once add cheese to top side, cover and remove from heat.  Leave in pan until cheese has melted.  Top toasted whole wheat bagel with egg whites and add a dash of Siracha sauce if desired.  

And there you are! 
Okay... now seriously... back to studying!
