Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Separate the egg whites from four large eggs if starting with whole eggs. Ensure no yolk is mixed with the whites.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, but not smoking, pour in the egg whites.
Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until they are set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges and fold the egg whites in half to ensure even cooking.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the egg whites are fully cooked and no longer runny.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Transfer the fried egg whites to a plate, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
