Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Separate the egg whites from whole eggs or use pre-packaged liquid egg whites. Chop any vegetables or herbs you want to add, and have your seasonings ready.
- Heat Your Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil or spray the pan lightly. Allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Pour and Cook: Pour the egg whites into the pan and let them cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes. You want the edges to start setting while the center is still slightly runny.
- Add Fillings: Sprinkle your chosen vegetables, herbs, or cheese evenly over one half of the omelette. This is your chance to get creative.
- Fold and Finish Cooking: Carefully fold the omelette over the fillings using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully set and cooked through, then slide onto a plate and serve.
Notes
- Use fresh egg whites for fluffier texture and even cooking.
- Cook on medium-low heat to prevent rubbery texture and browning.
- A good non-stick pan is essential to avoid sticking and to fold the omelette neatly.
- Prep fillings in advance to speed up cooking.
- Avoid overfilling to prevent tearing or difficulty folding.
