Ingredients

• 4 large eggs Egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 pinch Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by separating the egg whites from the yolks of 4 large eggs, ensuring that no yolk is mixed with the whites for a truly low sodium dish.

Step 2

Turn on your stove and preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the pan is preheated, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, ensuring an even coating across the surface of the pan.

Step 4

Pour the egg whites into the pan, allowing them to spread and form an even layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the egg whites for seasoning. Avoid adding salt to maintain the low sodium quality of the meal.

Step 6

Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes or until they appear opaque and set at the edges.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently flip the egg whites and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until fully cooked.

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the fried egg whites to a plate.

Step 9

If desired, finely chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the egg whites for a touch of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately for best taste and freshness.
