Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, chives, or dill)
- 1 tablespoon Shredded cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach; optional)
Instructions
Separate 4 egg whites from the yolks and place them in a clean, dry mixing bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper to the egg whites.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, ensuring the mixture becomes airy and fluffy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Gently fold in chopped fresh herbs and optional fillings like cheese or vegetables to the egg white mixture, being careful not to deflate the airiness.
Pour the whipped egg whites into the skillet and spread them out evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the omelette is set and slightly golden on the bottom.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a serving plate.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
