Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Gather all your ingredients and ensure they are measured correctly.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks if using whole eggs, then place the egg whites into a mixing bowl.
- In a medium bowl, combine the 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs.
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to the eggs.
- Whisk everything together until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.
- Set a non-stick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat.
- Lightly spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray or add a small amount of olive oil to coat the bottom.
- Once the pan is heated, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a few minutes until they begin to set around the edges.
- Carefully lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Tilt the pan slightly if necessary.
- Continue to cook until the omelet is almost set but still slightly runny on top.
- Drizzle the 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Use the spatula to gently fold the other half of the omelet over the BBQ sauce-covered side.
- Press down lightly to seal the omelet and let it cook for another minute or until the eggs are fully set.
- Slide the BBQ-flavored high protein omelet onto a plate.
- Cut it in half if desired, and you’re ready to enjoy a savory and protein-packed meal!
Tips:
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before you start. This will help them whisk more easily and result in a fluffier omelet.
- Use a non-stick skillet to make sure your omelet doesn't stick to the pan.
- Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the BBQ sauce and eggs.
- Feel free to add some chopped vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to increase the nutrient content and add more texture and flavor.
- Using a blender to mix the egg whites and whole eggs can create a smoother and more uniform mixture.
There you have it—a simple yet flavorful high protein omelet that’s perfect whether you're rushing out the door or leisurely enjoying your morning. This recipe offers a unique twist on a classic dish, providing both nourishment and satisfaction. Remember, the key to a perfect omelet is patience and practice. Enjoy your meal!
