Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large Egg whites
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons Non-fat milk
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the turkey bacon: in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon slices until they are crispy, which should take about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and let them cool on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, chop into bite-sized pieces.
While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the egg whites, non-fat milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then lightly coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
Place the skillet back on medium-low heat and pour in the egg white mixture, stirring gently with a spatula.
Cook the eggs slowly, scraping the edges and the bottom of the pan with the spatula to form large curds. Stir until the eggs are just set but still soft and creamy, about 5 minutes.
Fold in the chopped turkey bacon pieces and stir gently to incorporate.
Serve immediately, garnishing with optional chopped chives for added flavor and a touch of color.
