Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites, ensuring you have only the egg whites for this recipe.
Step 2
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg whites with a fork or whisk until they are slightly frothy.
Step 3
Add the salt and black pepper to the egg whites and stir gently to incorporate.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot but not smoking, pour the egg whites into the pan.
Step 6
Allow the egg whites to cook without stirring for about 2-3 minutes. As they start to set around the edges, gently lift the sides using a spatula, allowing any uncooked whites to flow to the pan's edges.
Step 7
Continue cooking until the egg whites are fully set and opaque, about 2 more minutes.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the egg whites to a plate.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
