Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs egg whites
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Separate the egg whites from the yolks using an egg separator or by carefully transferring the yolk back and forth between shell halves, allowing the white to drip into a bowl. Discard the yolks or reserve for another recipe.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat until shimmering.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to spread them evenly.
Season the egg whites lightly with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and turn opaque.
Using a spatula, gently flip the egg whites over and continue to cook for another 1–2 minutes, until the whites are set but still tender.
Transfer the cooked egg whites to a plate. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of cheese, or alongside whole-grain toast.
