Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the egg into a mixing bowl.
- Add the 3 egg whites to the bowl with the whole egg.
- Whisk the eggs together until well combined.
- Place a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat up until it shimmers.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, allowing the eggs to set slightly around the edges.
- Evenly distribute the drained tuna over one half of the omelet.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
- Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the tuna.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the half with the tuna and cheese.
- Press gently to seal and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Cut in half if desired and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a fluffier omelet, whisk the egg and egg whites vigorously to incorporate more air.
- Drain the canned tuna well to avoid excess moisture in the omelet.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking and to make flipping easier.
- Cook the omelet on medium-low heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
- Feel free to add herbs like parsley or chives for an extra layer of flavor.
