EGG WHITE OMELET

This egg white omelet is an easy and healthy way to kick-start your day.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
4 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Chopped herbs, such as parsley, chives, and chervil (optional)
Cooked spinach, chopped (optional)
Freshly grated cheese, such as Parmesan, ricotta salata, or manchego (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat butter or oil in a small nonstick skillet over low heat. Meanwhile, whisk together egg whites and salt, incorporating a lot of air, which will ensure that the omelet is light and fluffy. Be sure not to do this in advance or the egg whites will deflate.
  • Place your hand directly above the skillet. When your palm feels warm, the skillet is ready to start cooking. Working quickly, pour whisked eggs into the heated skillet. While shaking skillet back and forth over heat, stir with a heatproof rubber spatula for less than 1 minute. You want to keep eggs moving, incorporating any runny parts and some curds begin to form.
  • Continue cooking, making sure eggs cover the entire surface of the skillet and using a spatula to push together any holes that may have formed. Top with one or more desired fillings.
  • Run the spatula along right side of omelet to loosen eggs from skillet. Place spatula under right side of eggs, making sure that the spatula is well underneath the eggs to offer maximum support, and lift right side over left in one fluid motion. Folded omelet should look like a half-moon.
  • Lightly press down on omelet with the spatula to seal omelet together. Do not press hard; you do not want to flatten the curds. Check to make sure the handle of the skillet is still facing directly out toward you.
  • Lift up skillet with one hand, and hold a plate with your other hand. Tilt skillet, and let the curved edge of the omelet slide onto the plate.

FLUFFY EGG WHITE OMELETTE



Fluffy Egg White Omelette image

I used to think that an egg-white omelet couldn't be as good as a "real" one. I was wrong. This omelet is golden and so delicious!

Provided by Vered DeLeeuw

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese ((See notes below for additional options))
1/4 cup chopped scallions (green parts)
1/3 cup firm cherry tomatoes (halved)
Olive oil spray

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium heat, 2-3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, vigorously whisk the egg whites with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, until frothy. Whisk in the parmesan.
  • Using a spatula, fold the green onions and tomatoes into the egg whites. You can also scatter the vegetables on top of the eggs after you pour them into the skillet, as shown in the video. But I prefer the method of stirring them into the eggs before you pour them into the skillet.
  • Lightly spray the skillet with olive oil spray, then pour the egg whites in and start cooking them, tilting the skillet to spread them evenly.
  • As soon as the edges start to set, reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently and repeatedly lift the edges of the omelet, and tilt the skillet to allow the still-runny egg whites to slide to the bottom of the pan, where they will cook faster. The video below shows you how to do that.
  • When the bottom of the omelet is cooked and the top is not runny anymore but still wet, carefully flip the omelet. I sometimes use two large spatulas for this task. Another method, shown in the video below, is to place a large heatproof plate on top of the skillet (careful - it will be hot), invert the omelet into the plate, then slide it back into the pan, cooked side up.
  • After flipping the omelet, keep cooking it for just a few more seconds, then turn the heat off.
  • Fold the omelet, slide it onto a plate, and serve.

MOST DELICIOUS EGG WHITE OMELETTE EVER



Most Delicious Egg White Omelette Ever image

This is easy and very satisfying. You can add whatever veggies you like by either stirring them into the egg whites right before pouring into the skillet or you can put them on 1/2 of the eggs right before serving and fold the other half of the eggs over the veggies. Oh yeah, did I mention that this is really healthy and your family will never even suspect!

Provided by Chef Emstar

Categories     Breakfast

Time 9m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 egg whites
1 tablespoon reduced-fat feta cheese
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Whip the egg whites in a blender or with an immersion blender until they are fluffy.
  • Add in the feta, pepper and oregano and whip again.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with pure olive oil cooking spray.
  • Pour in the egg mixture and cook for 2 minutes. Cover and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Uncover and flip the eggs over. Cook for 1 more minute. If you want to add veggies, you can put them on 1/2 of the egg mixture and fold the other half over them. Then slide the eggs onto a plate.
  • My favorite veggie combo is spinach, green onion and roasted red pepper.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you a better-tasting and more nutritious omelet.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make your omelet tough. Just beat them until they are combined.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help to prevent your omelet from sticking.
  • Cook the omelet over medium heat: Medium heat will help to cook the omelet evenly without burning it.
  • Don't flip the omelet too early: Wait until the bottom of the omelet is set before you flip it. Otherwise, it will fall apart.
  • Add your fillings when the omelet is almost done cooking: This will help to prevent the fillings from overcooking.
  • Serve the omelet immediately: An omelet is best served hot.

Conclusion:

An egg white omelet is a healthy, delicious, and versatile breakfast option. It can be made with a variety of fillings, so you can customize it to your own taste. With just a few simple steps, you can make a delicious egg white omelet that will help you start your day right.
