Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3–4 egg whites (per serving)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, as needed

Optional Add-ins

  • Fresh herbs (basil, chives, parsley), chopped
  • Vegetables (spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms), chopped
  • Low-fat feta or mozzarella cheese, sprinkled
  • Chopped jalapeños or chili flakes for spice
  • Smoked salmon or shrimp for a seafood variation

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Separate the egg whites from the yolks, using about 3-4 egg whites per serving. Lightly season the egg whites with salt and pepper. If using vegetables or herbs, chop them finely to ensure even cooking.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Warm the oil for about a minute, avoiding overheating to prevent drying out the egg whites.
  3. Cook the Egg Whites: Pour the egg whites into the pan and gently tilt the skillet to spread them evenly. Let cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set and the top remains slightly glossy.
  4. Add Fillings: Sprinkle your chosen vegetables, herbs, or cheese over one half of the omelette to prepare for folding without breaking.
  5. Fold and Finish Cooking: Use a spatula to carefully fold the omelette in half over the fillings. Continue cooking for another minute or until the egg whites are fully cooked but remain tender and moist. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate.

Notes

  • Use fresh egg whites for a fluffier texture; they whip better than carton egg whites.
  • Cook over low heat and avoid overcooking to keep the omelette moist and tender.
  • A nonstick pan is essential to prevent sticking and ease folding.
  • Lightly whisk the egg whites before cooking to incorporate air for added fluffiness.
  • Add fresh herbs directly into the egg whites or as a garnish for enhanced flavor and color.
