Ingredients
- 3 large eggs egg whites
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Separate the egg whites from the yolks using an egg separator or by carefully transferring the yolk back and forth between shell halves, allowing the white to drip into a bowl. Discard the yolks or reserve for another recipe.
Step 2
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat until shimmering.
Step 3
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to spread them evenly.
Step 4
Season the egg whites lightly with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
Step 5
Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and turn opaque.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently flip the egg whites over and continue to cook for another 1–2 minutes, until the whites are set but still tender.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked egg whites to a plate. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of cheese, or alongside whole-grain toast.
