Ingredients
- 6 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Asparagus
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in length.
Step 2
Finely mince the garlic clove and set it aside.
Step 3
In a nonstick skillet, spray a light layer of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until tender-crisp. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low. Push the asparagus to the side of the pan and pour the egg whites into the other half of the skillet.
Step 7
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the egg whites and asparagus. Allow the egg whites to set for 1-2 minutes without stirring.
Step 8
Gently scramble the egg whites, mixing them with the asparagus, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
