Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites, ensuring you have only the egg whites for this recipe.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg whites with a fork or whisk until they are slightly frothy.
Add the salt and black pepper to the egg whites and stir gently to incorporate.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot but not smoking, pour the egg whites into the pan.
Allow the egg whites to cook without stirring for about 2-3 minutes. As they start to set around the edges, gently lift the sides using a spatula, allowing any uncooked whites to flow to the pan's edges.
Continue cooking until the egg whites are fully set and opaque, about 2 more minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the egg whites to a plate.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
