Ingredients
- 4 Egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Pour the egg whites into a bowl. Season them with sea salt and black pepper, and whisk gently to combine.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, but not smoking, pour the egg whites into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to lift slightly from the pan.
Step 4
Gently stir with a spatula to scramble slightly, but not too much, so the egg whites hold together.
Step 5
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully cooked and no longer runny.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
