Separate the egg whites from the yolks of four large eggs, making sure no yolks are present in the whites to keep it Whole30-compliant.
Chop fresh chives finely and set aside.
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to become hot but not smoking.
Gently pour the egg whites into the pan, ensuring they spread out evenly.
Season the egg whites with 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Cook the egg whites for about 2-3 minutes without stirring until they are set on the bottom and edges.
Carefully flip the egg whites using a spatula to cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes or until fully set but still tender.
Transfer the cooked egg whites to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the egg whites for garnish and additional flavor.
Serve immediately while warm as part of a satisfying Whole30 meal.
