Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon non-stick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the egg whites.
Season the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk vigorously using a fork or whisk for about 30 seconds until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Pre-heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and spray it with non-stick cooking spray to coat the surface evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs cover the bottom evenly.
Let the eggs cook without stirring for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs from the outer edges towards the center while shaking the pan slightly to ensure even cooking.
Once the omelet starts to hold its shape but is still slightly soft on top, sprinkle the fresh herbs across the center.
Fold the omelet in thirds using the spatula, by folding one side towards the center and then the other.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, seam side down. Serve immediately while hot.
