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!

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.

Golden Egg White Omelets with Spinach and Cheese image

Categories     Blender     Egg     Breakfast     Brunch     Vegetarian     Lunch     Spinach     Bell Pepper     Pan-Fry     Healthy     Swiss Cheese     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium yellow bell peppers
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 teaspoons olive oil
2 (5-ounce) bags baby spinach, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
12 large egg whites or liquid egg whites
1 ounce coarsely grated Gruyère (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Make pepper purée:
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Broil bell peppers on a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until skins are blackened, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes. Peel peppers, discarding stems and seeds, and coarsely chop, then purée in a blender with 2 tablespoons water, scraping down sides of blender, until smooth.
  • Prepare spinach:
  • Cook onion in 1 teaspoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and remaining 1/4 cup water and cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander set over a bowl and drain off excess liquid, gently pressing on spinach.
  • Make omelets:
  • Whisk together pepper purée and flour in a large bowl, then whisk in egg whites and remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until combined.
  • Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Pour 1/2 cup egg mixture into skillet and cook, lifting up cooked egg around edge occasionally to let raw egg flow underneath, until omelet is set but top is still slightly moist, about 2 minutes. Spoon one fourth of spinach over half of omelet and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese. Fold remaining half of omelet over filling using a heatproof plastic spatula and transfer to a plate. Keep warm, covered with foil.
  • Make 3 more omelets with remaining egg mixture, oil, spinach, and cheese in same manner.

EGG WHITE BREAKFAST BITES



Egg White Breakfast Bites image

These low-calorie, low-fat egg bites make a quick weekday breakfast and they're equally as convenient for midday snacks. In order not to waste egg yolks and to save time, I like to use a carton of liquid egg whites. Egg whites tend to be rubbery, so adding in the cottage cheese helps make them creamier. You can store extras in the freezer and reheat as needed.
