Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pour the egg whites into a bowl. Season them with sea salt and black pepper, and whisk gently to combine.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, but not smoking, pour the egg whites into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to lift slightly from the pan.
Gently stir with a spatula to scramble slightly, but not too much, so the egg whites hold together.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully cooked and no longer runny.
Transfer to a plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
