Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 spritz olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolks. Discard the yolks or save them for another recipe.
In a bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until they are slightly frothy. This step helps them to cook more evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with a spritz of olive oil spray.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, ensuring they are spread evenly.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the egg whites.
Let the egg whites cook until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Using a spatula, gently flip the egg whites and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until completely set.
Transfer the cooked egg whites to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
