Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by separating the egg whites from the yolks of 4 large eggs, ensuring that no yolk is mixed with the whites for a truly low sodium dish.
Turn on your stove and preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the pan is preheated, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, ensuring an even coating across the surface of the pan.
Pour the egg whites into the pan, allowing them to spread and form an even layer.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the egg whites for seasoning. Avoid adding salt to maintain the low sodium quality of the meal.
Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes or until they appear opaque and set at the edges.
Using a spatula, gently flip the egg whites and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until fully cooked.
Once cooked, transfer the fried egg whites to a plate.
If desired, finely chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the egg whites for a touch of color and flavor.
Serve immediately for best taste and freshness.
