- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolks. Discard the yolks or save them for another recipe.
Step 2
In a bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until they are slightly frothy. This step helps them to cook more evenly.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with a spritz of olive oil spray.
Step 4
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, ensuring they are spread evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the egg whites.
Step 6
Let the egg whites cook until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Using a spatula, gently flip the egg whites and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until completely set.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked egg whites to a serving plate.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
