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.
Instructions:
- 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).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cook for an additional 1 minute or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
- 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!
