Crack 3 large eggs into a mixing bowl.
Separate 2 additional egg yolks from their whites, reserving the whites. Add these egg whites to the bowl with the whole eggs.
Add 2 tablespoons of skim milk, 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk the egg mixture vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it covers the entire bottom evenly to form a thick patty.
Cook the egg mixture undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottom is lightly golden.
Carefully flip the egg patty using a spatula, and continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Once the egg patty is fully cooked and fluffy, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Cut into sections if desired and serve warm, either on its own or as part of a breakfast sandwich.
