Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs worth egg whites
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Separate the egg whites from the yolks of 4 large eggs, discarding the yolks or saving them for another use.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites lightly with a fork to break them up. Add salt and black pepper, and mix well.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Swirl the oil around to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, spreading them out evenly over the surface.
Cook the egg whites undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is set and starts to turn a light golden color.
Using a spatula, gently lift one edge of the egg whites to check if they are cooked through. They should be firm yet tender on top.
Once cooked, slide the egg whites onto a plate. Garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired, and serve immediately.
