Parmesan egg white omelet

Parmesan egg white omelet is a light, fluffy, and protein-packed dish that's perfect for a healthy breakfast or a quick meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this delicious omelet in no time. The grated Parmesan cheese adds a savory touch that elevates the flavor, making it a delightful choice for any time of the day.

Ingredients:

4 egg whites
130g
2 tbsp milk (2% fat)
30g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tbsp butter
14g
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring you have 4 egg whites (approximately 130g).
- Measure out 2 tablespoons of milk (30g), a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese if it’s not already grated, ensuring you have 2 tablespoons (10g).
2. Mix Egg Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
3. Heat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan.
4. Cook the Omelet:
- Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- As the eggs begin to set, gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan so any uncooked egg whites can flow to the edges and cook evenly.
5. Add Parmesan Cheese:
- Once the omelet is almost cooked through but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
6. Fold the Omelet:
- Use the spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese-covered side, creating a half-moon shape. Press gently to ensure the cheese melts.
7. Final Cooking Touches:
- Cook for an additional 1 minute or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
8. Serve:
- Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half if desired, and serve hot.

Tips:

- For a fluffier omelet, you can whip the egg whites until soft peaks form before cooking.

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking and to make flipping easier.

- On medium heat, cook the omelet slowly to avoid burning and to ensure the egg whites are fully cooked.

- Feel free to add other ingredients like chopped vegetables or herbs to enhance the flavor and nutritional value.

- Serve the omelet immediately after cooking to enjoy its best texture and flavor.

With this simple Parmesan egg white omelet recipe, you can enjoy a delicious, nutritious meal in just a few minutes. It's perfect for those looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle without sacrificing taste. Remember to experiment with additional ingredients and seasonings to make it your own. Happy cooking!
