Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 2 egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.125 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon non-stick cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the egg whites.

Step 2

Season the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Whisk vigorously using a fork or whisk for about 30 seconds until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Pre-heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and spray it with non-stick cooking spray to coat the surface evenly.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs cover the bottom evenly.

Step 6

Let the eggs cook without stirring for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.

Step 7

Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs from the outer edges towards the center while shaking the pan slightly to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Once the omelet starts to hold its shape but is still slightly soft on top, sprinkle the fresh herbs across the center.

Step 9

Fold the omelet in thirds using the spatula, by folding one side towards the center and then the other.

Step 10

Slide the omelet onto a plate, seam side down. Serve immediately while hot.
