Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked spaghetti squash

  • ½ cup cooked pumpkin

  • 2 cups frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

  • 3 ounces cooked lump crab meat

  • ⅛ teaspoon dried parsley

  • ⅛ teaspoon dry mustard

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder

  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

  • cooking spray

  • 3 egg whites

  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste

Directions

  1. Place spaghetti squash and pumpkin in a blender and process until well combined. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

  2. Add spinach and crab meat to squash mixture. Add parsley, mustard, cinnamon, onion powder, and garlic powder and mix thoroughly and evenly. Set aside.

  3. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Spray generously with cooking spray. Add egg whites, making sure they spread to cover the entire pan. Cook until mostly set, about 2 minutes. Spoon squash mixture over 1/2 of the eggs. Add hot pepper sauce. Fold eggs over, covering the contents of the omelet. Cook to desired crispness, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a large plate and serve.

Cook's Notes:

Feel free to use any cooked winter squash you like, including kabocha, delicata, or carnival.

Crab claw meat also works well in this recipe.
